I just finished making a plinth wrap for my TT.  The plain black plinth was so boring, so…

Very nice.  I like the brass corners; they would especially be nice on veneer to cover the edges.

Thanks Sentry!

I cut the pieces with a handsaw, and don’t have a saw to mitre corners, so there is a joint on both sides. The primary function of the brass corners, is to help hide the seam. A woodworker and craftsman, I am definitely not Smiley.  But it turned out pretty nice.

I had to do a double take at what TT that was, very nice. As a part time wood hacker, those miters can be difficult to get exact. Great workaround!

Thanks guys!  The plain black body needed a pick-me-up.

Now all I need to do is replace the POS platform the TT sits on. It’s just a piece of wood I cut to length and spray painted Smiley
