Frank, good job! All I had was MDF to work with until I found Pine wood and it does dull the blade quickly because of its heavy glue content among other things ,but pretty smooth finish by itself and painting an MDF ply is a major pain in the neck.
Kevin, are you a Radio Ham? I read you bought Kenwood SW radios and ICOM R3000 , this is part of the Ham radio equipment. If you are what is your call sign?
