    Made this 16' x 3' x 2" SS Counter top...
    [​IMG]

    And installed it at a neighborhood restaurant in Beechwold. The cracked concret top was busted up and my new top was installed at 8:30am and they opened for breakfast at 9:00am..... Another satisfied customer.....:D

    GP-2 Jewelry....

    Sooooo.... My GP-2 Racin parts that arrived from Germany did not include 6 special fasteners....

    As a matter of fact, they don't even disclose what's needed...

    Time for some reverse engineering....:D

    Made my own SS domed fasteners this morning....:Thumbsup:

    I still can't believe you won't sell the stuff you make.

    You are either installing a wet bar in your MINI or it is part of the aero plane conversion kit you bought at the Zeppelin auction. :smile5:

    I'm amazed at the quality and the reasonable asking price of these GP-2 parts. Not something I'm used to for these kind of things coming from BMW / MINI / Black Forest Racin elves. Some weirdness going on over there..... Most refreshing....:D

    MM: No reason you can't make your daughter one out of metal. The design is based on a traveling tack box, used by the RCMP and their's is metal. :Thumbsup:

    Jason: My farrier works out of his own truck. He doesn't ride my horse and I don't attempt to nail on shoes. :lol:

    When I first saw that picture, I read "Tackle Box" instead of "Tack Box".

    I thought, "How's he going to get that in his boat?":lol::eek:

    Earlier I posted up some pictures of a "Origami" style reception desk and shelves I made for a local art center....

    Well, today they sent me pictures of the completed install.... The customer was quite happy with the results...
