The student succeeds the master. Good work.

What lights are you putting in it?

Thanks for the good words everybody. Reefgeek, I'm a welder in an aluminum tank fabrication shop, see linkhere, so I used the hydraulic brake and tig welder there. The polishing I did all at home with stuff from princess auto. BMW Rider, I am putting a 250w halide and 2 vho actinics. D-bo, it took about 8 hours from start to finish, but the polishing probably ate up about 6 of those. If I'd have bought high polish aluminum I would have saved more time but less money.
