Another great job Splinter... made me break out in a sweat just reading what had to be done... 400 drill holes... twice... sheesh! Like your "hide me" recesses for the feet. While I probably will never play a game of cribbage those bumper pads (with the necks), will at least be something I will take with me... those "normal" stick on suck... actually not enough (sucktion).
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
