What Pete
This circle goes on top and one below
The dremmell helps to keep the shape of arm holder

Ideally a rectangle cut out that could take different armboards would be better,but I have no saw fit for purpose

I was thinking you could just enlarge the hole and move the centre a bit at the same time, if you see what I mean.

I’m in severe shit if she smells the auto sol when she gets in

It’s all a bit of a bodge
Ikea is possibly the worst material to use to get a clean hole

Just found a technics 270c mm as I seem to have departed with nearly all my carts

I quite like it that both arm and deck were made in 1967

I’ll put a vid up later,it’s all a bit untidy but working :+1:. Shame my back isnt

Forgot to keep any of the screws for myself,that’s why the right one has the slightly unfinished centre

Though just found another couple in a drawer

Nice work Stu, how’s it sound?

Pretty good

Need to try a better cart on it and maybe sort a better material for the plinth

It’s all a bit flaky because the honeycomb holes aren’t ideal, but I sold a few bits it came with so cost me £3

For a plinth, laminated timber chopping boards might be worth a look

Veneered Kingspan ftw

How far north are you coming Stu? I have some beech stave off cuts also some granite pieces you could have FOC.

Not sure what’s happening yet John
Will be Liverpool if it happens
Sadly slate is no use to me. Beech could be handy thought

Ohhhhh you cheeky monkey

Stupidly attempted to try and make the gl 75 by using an old Apollo shelf to sit on top Of an old sysyemdek and jigsaw through both.

I made a messup of getting it central but looks ok

I used small balls of blu tac in between the shelf and deck as it has a lip running round the deck

Not finished as back stopped play. Really shouldn’t have started it as most of it was crawling on the AstroTurf. Local mental hospital or rspca are probably on there way
