Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,

I guess you got your wish Ron... I was just finishing the little details on the 4 radios I completed. I attached the grill cloth and put the chassis back in to take some nice finished pictures.
I turned around and heard....... CRASH! I looked back and the 45 and my Halson were no longer on the table. I left the room and haven't been back in since. I know it is not good since I heard the cracking of wood.
I will be re-doing the 2 radios I guess... I will try Ex Dk Walnut this time on the 45 and grain fill the Halson. Guess this was Gods way of getting me to do it right, Icon_lol

I'll take pics when I get the courage to go into the workshop and pick them up.

Here is a pic before the fall:
