OD on the Seatboards

HingsingM37 · Post by **HingsingM37** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 2:30 am

When I made my seatboards I had used leftovers. There were three different types of wood, ash, oak, poplar. Although I liked the natural wood look, I got tired of the mis-matched wood colors&grains. Layed the OD on this past weekend

David,

Nice job on the seatboards. Can you post up a picture of the front of radios?

Thanks,

Bert

That's one radio. The top is the radio and the bottom is the power supply. AN/GRR-5. Nice AM/Short Wave receiver.

That's how troop seats are suppose to look David! Good Job! Now just hit the carrage bolt heads and the nuts with some paint and you're all set!

Bert,
Thanks. I will post a pic of the radio ASAP.

Joe, I will probably touch those bolts up this weekend.

Have a good Fourth

David,

Did you have the data plates stamped or engraved?

Joe,

The plates were laser-etched.

ooooooo scared of you!

If I ever get to that point I'll get intouch with you. The honeydue list just go longer...

I like the look of the numbers and how they turned out. I had them do the laser etch vs. the "phaser" etch as the phaser would have disintegrated the plates

Funny you mention the honey-do list, I am thinking of completing the rolling chasis here in the next month then putting the trailer project on hold

until next spring so I can address some home repairs

I don't know, we'll see

Here's a home made plate I just had laser etched.
