I am re-locating my console gauges up into the dash. I bought a nice piece of grained cherry wood that I want to use; it's about 1/4" thick, 6" wide and about 40" long.I have enough wood for maybe 3 or 4 of these if anyone else interested.
If I send you the rectangular cut wood, does anyone here have the means for cutting out the gauge holes? Basically 5 holes to hold 4 52mm gauges and a 60mm clock in a rectangular shaped piece. Will look like this: oh crap...Admin, please move to garage forum. thx |

If you get an adjustable hole cutter you can cut any hole exactly the diameter you want. And the tend to be cleaner then hole saws for wood in my experience.
