I'm about to try a couple of TT projects using cutting boards/butcher's blocks but was worried that they'd fall to bits having a great hole cut out. Any problems ?

You couldn't get much simpler than this:Originally Posted by baron
I've just fitted my RB300 arm to my GL75 in my loft system. It sounds very good. I'll post some pictures when I tidy up, its a bit of a mess at the moment.
Next job is to build a better plinth.Ideas please. Must be Quick and easy
It sounds great I think... you could make it heavier my adding a few extra layers but for me this is fine... If you want any other pics of the underneath etc let me know.

If there's any interest I could do some nudie shots - it's a very basic plinth but it seems to tick the boxes

Yes please!
This is on my list of things to do, so any pointers, guidance and previous experience would be a great help.
