I glued a small piece above the leg cut out separately as it was easier than trying to include it with a main side piece. Here it is glued but not trimmed

the control panel is brown and the other two thirds was a dirty silver so I rubbed it down, masked it carefully and sprayed it Nissan D14 Tickford green.

I started to make the arm pod but my lathe is knackered to put it technically, so much backlash in all the slides so I got lots of chatter, so I gave it to a friend to finish turning to length and to make the hole in the 10mm top plate to mount the arm. I hope to get it back soon so I can cut the top plate to size and bolt it to the pod.

That's just awesome, Paul!
I bet my old Denon tt would have sounded bloody marvellous housed in that.
Good choice of green paint, too. Love that.

What glue did you use to bond the layers of plywood?

Thanks Jerry, I am hoping it will sound good but it doesn't have as much mass as I would have liked being round. It may be form over function, fingers crossed. I don't know if all the Denon tt's have damped two piece platters as mine does but I don't see the point of a thick rubber mat with a damped platter, I will be using my copper mat with it. All that damping may be the reason people say they sound dull. Time will tell.
I used gorilla glue, small amount and quite expensive.

Looking good Paul, I like the Rosewood finish.

Lovely job!
Looks like your router spun out of control and dented your Focus though..
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
