[spykes]

thanks steve! hey steve if you got any left over 1/2 inch berch plywood left. think i can have the scraps?

 

[stingnyc]

sure i think there will be plenty left...

 

[spykes]

yo steve. do you wanna do any cosmetics for the sump? maybe next time i stop by i'll bring my micromesh sandpaper and we can sand down the imperfections and then polish it

 

[jhale]

dave, you can do that when we skin the stand.
that will be good. since the stand is going in my portfolio, I don't want any crappie looking equipment inside when you open the doors .
also you should make it look as good as possible for your own photos as well.

 

[spykes]

cant really be perfect but yeah i can do some stuff to his sump. i'll remove all the lettering and stuff too. when is the skinning gonna be?

 

[jhale]
