Hi Everyone, It has been a long fight. For a while I thought that the router, saw and paint were going to win...but I beat them into submission. It took two sets of materials, several coats of paint and subsequent removal of it and redo the paint to get what I liked. The Plinth is made of two cross laminated boards that were themselves laminated 4 inch wide strips. So it is rigid and should be resistant to warping. The arm board is of high density particle board. Motive power is by a Dual 701 direct drive assembly. The arm is an Origin Live Alliance ( a knife edge variant of some of their other arms). The cartridge is a Dynavector 10X5 with a Soundsmith ruby cantilever. The paint is BTW "sand paint" and is textured. I covered it with two clear coats of acrylic. The feet were salvaged from a junk TT. It works great and with a weight of nearly 30 pounds is immune to nearly any sort of vibration.
