mickmate, thanks for the reply. Great idea! What did you use as a fence? How did you guide the dremel?
Not sure my hand is steady enough. Thinking a thin/flexible body side molding (like a door edge molding) could act as a guide. Perhaps a mini router would offer easier maneuverability.
Those rolled edges sure are nice. I’m not that ambitious though.

Wolf… absolutely love your build pics. You are definitely the meticulous one… and that’s a great trait!
Thanks for the heads up. I bonded the body myself, so I hope I didn’t mess up. I’ll run a straight edge off the frame and measure the height. All my pre-drilled holes and panels lined up, so fingers are crossed that all is well.
