I thought about making a metal one, I however lack those metalworking skills! Yours turned out well Dan.
I finished the underside of the body this weekend. I used por15 for the first time...I read that you can't wash the stuff off if it gets on your skin so I wore long sleeves, pants, and gloves. Well I can confirm that it will stain skin through denim...Going on a week and a half and I still don't have it all off...
