Thanks lads,
Would mind doing it for a living if the money were alright lol.. it was fun to make.. I might take some better pics of it soon.
Miljan, it's impossible to budge. It's made of 18mm mdf, dunno if you've ever worked with mdf but once you use enough of it it gets heavy! Really heavy.. It took three of us to get it up a flight of stairs. I'd guess it weighs around 60-80kilos, or around that figure.
Here's a picture of the top of it being screwed down, there's no glue involved just a lot of pre drilling and screws. None of the screws split the mdf which i was really happy about
A picture of all the legs once they were built.
And a picture of the screws (some of the screws that are keeping the whole thing together.) It doesn't twist or bend or move at all. As there is one big back board to the whole thing as well.

lol, that was the car i learnt to drive in and did my test in as well. It's been in our family since 1970, when it came rolling out of the factory. Not my favourite colour but still it was fun for the 2 years i drove it
The colour was something i had to think about for a while as i was going to do something crazy at first with a real glossy finish, but decided to go safe with a matt black. Came out better then i thought it would as i could see streaks at first But that just shows how little i know about painting lol
Anywho..

Decisions, decisions..
Hey Desire.. how do you get your dust covers to sit up vertically like that? Are they in the brackets? ... or just leaning against the wall...?

Looks like the old 1200s that had the brackets on them to me.
hmm weird... mine stop at about 60 degrees... I usually have to take them off if I want to spin....

do all mkII's had the brackets? It seems like my friend had some that didn't but he may have just taken them off. I dunno. I do know that the brackets used to be in a different position on the decks.
