Hi All
Here is the best I can do with my 16B, Icon_think I tried at least. Several things turned out wrong, the wraparound did not turn out just right but this will have to do. At least the radio works very good. Icon_smile So it goes on the finished shelf. Thanks to all for the help and advise. Joe
