Today I went to Home Depot and bought wood and other supplies to build the cabinet. I cringed at the price of good wood, not to mention the stain, and shellac to seal the wood. I'm going to use Tung Oil as the top finish since I am very familiar with it. This is going to be an expensive radio when it's done. I went by Harbor Freight and bought a router and router blade kit and extra saber saw blades. If the weather holds up, tomorrow I will begin to design and then build the cabinet. For me it will be a lot bigger challenge than the chassis was.
