It came out real nice. I recommend looking into them if you are contemplating building similar parts. Turnaround was real quick. http://www.carpephoton.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=26 Post Extras:       David Pavlich Transmographied Reged: 05/18/05 Loc: Mandeville, LA USA Re: Got EM-400 pier adapter plate made (pics) [Re: Nocturnal]       #4407181 - 02/23/11 10:11 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   That looks like a very nicely done piece, Sander. You've got to be getting really antsy about getting that thing working for you!

Is the dove tail plate black to? Thanks! Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 31 registered and 33 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
