Guys I want to Thank You all for your kind words! It realy means alot, These boxes were a great little project and I love doing projects like this. For all that dont know this isnt a hobby for me its what I do for a living and you can ask jason hes been to my shop several times and I take it very seriously. I have spikes ordered for them but havent arrived yet I didnt have the heart to ask Jason to wait a few more days untill they came in

I know he was dieing to see them. We were emailing and texting each other all day yesterday back and forth and I was trying to keep him abreast of what I was doing untill the final step he was very excited. Once again thank you for all your kind words. Randall Kepley

Don't let Gayle see this...she might have Randall building yours.

Heck, she might have him in NM building your kitchen.

If you can FAX Randall out, Gayle would see to it that he is well fed.

Actually I've been making pretty good progress on the kitchen and all of the little support projects that go along with it. I can see a light waayyyyyy off in the distance.

Finally!

Randall, I have no doubt. Every detail shows the mark of a craftsman. I love quilted and flame maple. There is something about the shimmer depth - beauty.

Great work!

One thing that I should add is that the top coat that was used is a satin. It gives the perfect sheen for me. I don't like gloss but this still brings out the beautiful grain.

Also, this stuff is incredibly durable. Randall poured lacquer thinner on a sample to show me.

My stands have the same finish.

That is gorgeous and would go great with my speakers and buffer! Any pics from inside the open end?

Best,

I'm sorry but I don't understand your picture question.

There appears to be a door on one end, perhaps with an outlet for the chager to plug into?

edit: nevermind, need more coffee, that is the lid sitting on the floor.

That's correct. The lid is to the left standing up. The piece that the charger is attached to slides in and out of the box. The wiring is under that which will go to the PowerCon's that are on the back of the unit. Blue is power to the charger and Gray is power out to the buffer.

I'll take some more pics when the wiring is done.

I bet. With the satin finish I'm sure it just glows and shimmers!

I'm with you on not liking the high gloss finishes much anymore... even on my guitars. There is that "well loved" patina that use gives

Ever since I found waterborne polyurethanes I have been in hog heaven. They apply easily, look great and are resistant to lots of chemicals. I especially like KTM-9. I use a flatting agent with it and it is easy to work with and gives a beautiful finish. I have to admit that there is nothing like good old nitro lacquer for the best guitar finishes from the tone standpoint.
