I wanted a new console similar to a 260sp Wurlitzer.

I had no idea how to go about this so I spent many months sitting

at my PC using CAD software drawing up plans.

Having got the plans finalised it was time to do the carpentry.

I made the two console support columns.

I didn't use a solid piece of MDF, because it would not be strong enough

and if it got wet the chance of it collapsing would increase.

This method makes it an easy job. 3mm plywood strips laminated.

It is 32mm thick and weighs about 45 kilograms.

I made three attempts at this, the first and second times

the thickness was wrong and I had a problem with the router.

The final attempt worked and this time I got the thickness right at 25mm.

My wife Dianne drew the scroll shape and I did the rest.

Again Dianne did the drawing and stencils, I do not possess these valuable skills.
