I though you might enjoy seeing some details on this "build".
With "Crest Version 1" (my interpretation) being given away as a WCR award, I've decided to make some "improvements" to V2. This one will hang in my home office. As you may have noticed in my LS build (with things like the engine compartment panel), I most often have to build something and experience it physically before I know what I really like. Same thing is happening here. Comparing V1 and the pieces/cut patterns for V2, you can see I decided to add an additional layer to the main body area - I think that'll be more interesting and better balanced. The grid in the design is 4'x4' so you can see, this uses a bit of metal! I'm thinking I may do this one in stainless, depending on cost. And I have an idea for a wall frame that should be pretty neat. More on that as I get to it. Attached thumbnail(s)

Nice work as usual, I like your welding table as well. Your shop must be huge!
