Ya,ain't it cool?!?!?!?!!!! Man,I just love doing what many won't. I get such a HUGE sense of satisfaction from it. BTW,thanks guys for the kind words. 

Still have to section it,add hinge and mount it. I have added a bit of inner structure that glues into it for the hinge to mount to and make a more finished looking part. I'll let that have ample time to cure . Should mount it all to the console Sat and I can move on to other projects for a bit.

Well,the third time was not the charm but the 4th sure was. Used .185. Was hard to get to temperature on top side and I probably got the bottom side too hot. It's actually the core temperature that is important .I think the core was a bit too high but I did get a good part. Very rigid and should take a lot of abuse.  Everything is a learning curve and I'm sure as I do more I will get better. The cup holders were a huge gamble and I got away with it.When I get up from shop I will post a pic or 2 of the semi finished part.

I had a relatively successful third try. Second pull was with .125 so,I thought it a good idea to heat a bit higher than the .065 . Nope did not do as well as the .065. on third pull with .125 about 25 F less than the .065. worked damn well but for bottom of the cupholders. Complete, no holes but too thin still. I'll be pulling some .185 today as soon as the squirrel  killed power is back on in shop.  :m
