Well just got back from JoeNull and started un packing the kit. Man does it look good. Happy with all the parts. The lazier cutting is clean it will glue great with out any sanding or work. Looked at the couwl it looks great and split with sides that really cuts back on a lot of work splitting a cowl.
Be watching your build to help me do mine this coming winter.

Start of the press. Making it with casters. Wood dimensions bottom is 14x14" middle piece is 14x13". I used a good grade 3/4" plywood.

I'm also using 8-32 hardware to bolt casters in so I can replace.
