Open framed hatch...how to finish inset taillights?

[Juneaudave]

Thanks for all the suggestions!!! I think I'm going to use a bunch of the ideas and add some indvidual covers (maybe with caning), nicer hardware, add an overhead light, wiring harness, and...whew...finish up the galley. I've been on hold awhile waiting for a new motor for the Shopsmith. When your table saw, drill press, planer, jointer, band saw, strip sander, disk sander, lathe, and horizontal boring machine all crap out because of one motor...things slow down more than even I'm used to!!!

WOW, no wonder your woodwork is so nice (besides great skill). Must be nice to have all that stuff (and the space to store it)!

I totally agree!
It also looks like Juneau Dave has a great love for building with wood!
I wouldn't even attempt to build a jewelry box resembling his teardrop because I know I'd fail miserably!

Did you actually burn out the windings? Otherwise you can repair the motor very easily.

Thanks but you guys would laugh is you saw my tools....The Shopsmith is one of those all-in-one tools that probably takes up less room than a stationary table saw. It does alot of things, but none of them particularly well....and if you burn out the motor...your whole shop is ka-poot!!! Having said that...if you take your time to fiddle with the thing....it's pretty good alternative for a garage where you can't fit a lot of statioonary stuff...

Better you than me Dave. Don't have the time or patience to use a multitask piece of machinery. If it works for you, more power to ya. Jane had one when we got married. Like I said, she had one. Danny

Can't argue with the benefits of good stationary tools!!! Here's what I came up with using the suggestions: nicer hardware, add a light, make removable panels...Thanks all, it looks a lot cleaner and all you will see is a wiring harness running from panel to panel...

Looking Good Dave

[halfdome, Danny]

Clean & tidy looking, good job Dave. Danny

Golly that's purdy...And you even rounded the corners!

PS. Your signature line made me laugh so hard I went into a coughing fit! "I can see Russia from my tear"?

Dynomite Dave Really looks sharp.

Where did you purchase the light from?


By the way how far away is Russia from your teardrop? The border is 450 kilometers from my teardrop They sure as H better stay that full distance away from our tear also
