Very nice
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Very nice work!  I like the lizard panel!  Is it backed with cow hide?

Thanks, guys.

Yeah, backed with some cow leather.  My biggest challenge is not getting contact cement on the surfaces that show.   Somehow I always get some one my hands and then touch the front surface.  These last couple I've triple
 checked so I didn't screw up the lizard skin.
