well you all know me and tonearm boards,if there's one to be made i cant help myself! :mrgreen:

so with that in mind ive had this itch to make one for my rock 2.

here's the standard one,made from metal plate,can it be bettered?
i mean we wouldn't dream of using metal plate for a tonearm board due to resonance would we??

Image

im using ebony for the new one as i have a piece spare.

Image

i wanted to keep the ebonies thickness rather than go thin like the steel plate so i had to rebate the back to give it the appearance of the original plate.

Image

and bingo here we have a new mounting board :)

Image

i have applied 2 coats of sanding sealer which will need to dry over night.
i'll fit it tomorrow and hopefully my hard work will pay off,if not well it looks better than the steel plate at least.:)
