Hi,

I have take the whole weekend to work on my CP.

I have based my design on the Lusid one.

I have choosen 3/4 inch particle wood...

This type of wook contain glue and even sand!

I was using a Dremel with a brand new tip...
(The tip overheat and was not cutting after 3 inch of work!)

Finally I try a tool that is based on a small vibrating sculpting plate... I worked like a charm...

But If I had to redo it, I will do it by gluing together two panel one of top the other by doing so there will be no need to use a router to make the hole for the trackball, for the spinner and for the joysticks.

I think eve it will ease the work for the T-Molding ...
it will be just a matter of removing 1/32 inch on each panel before gluing them together...

So no need of a router !

thanks
Reg
