Chidokan Posted April 28, 2019 #1 Posted April 28, 2019 I have had a couple of kits now and they have a rather poor cradle supplied (plywood) which I am not going to use....I have some nice oak and can rout up the edges, but does any kit supplier give a nice base with their kits? I wouldn't have thought this would cost a lot extra to add in.... Canute, CaptainSteve and thibaultron 3 Quote
thibaultron Posted April 28, 2019 #2 Posted April 28, 2019 Some do some don't, it would be nice if more did, but with the cheaper kits, it would add a chunk to the price.
