actually i just used a block of pressure treated 2X4 i had laying around...and a lot of sanding with the sanding attachment for the dremel...
cut the two holes needed with a hole saw first, then cut out the block shape around the holes with a box cut saw(yes by hand, no ban saw here
) then i just worked it with the dremel sander....oh and about 20 heavy coats of paint, flat black rustolium...a wet sand and a couple more coats
nothing too tough...they look pretty good...not perfect but they definatley do the job
thanks BTW for the complement....
