Thanks, I appreciate it very much. One thing, the cover plate is made from .026 gauge steel.  I bang it out on a bag of shot then I age it. I have some cooper that I am going to use for a cover plate but that someplace down the road. For now I am pretty happy with how this looks. Hey if you look on my facebook page you can now see a video of Husky Burnette playing this thing live.... It was really cool for me to see someone that plays as well as Husky with one of my builds.  (There are other great players out there with my builds, I just never get to see them)
