Really? You just ran this up one sleepless night? Well that is amazing work to be sure. Good corners.

Getting the old Tolex off can be a pig of a job. How did you go about it? And I'm guessing you didn't just have the tweed lying around ready. Where did you order it from, please?

My warmest congratulations go to someone who can do such good looking work.

Cheers - C

Hey Ceri,

Yes a sleepless night and half a day.The old tolex came off easy with a heat gun and a scraper.. The old glue was the hardest part a bit of sanding there ... And I had the tweed from a pedalboard that I had made to look like a fender amp , tweed, oxblood grill cloth for the top, fender leather handles. I remember I had ordered the tweed off eBay sometime last year it was difficult to find the tweed cloth that wasnt from china. If I can find the name of the seller in my paypal I'll post it. I remember putting photos of the pedalboard I made on here as well... I'm getting a new piece of plexiglass cut this weekend for this display. I scratcher the original with a knife while trying to trim it down to account for the added tweed thickness.

Thanks for the intrest everyone.
