Here's a basic one I cobbled together in my spare time...

Just some red oak from Home Depot, some cash box nuts from the local locksmith shop to hold the cylinders in place, routed edges and some lacquer to bring out the grain and add some shine. I sold it on ebay to support Zeke79 back in the day, hence why it's in an ebay folder.

Enjoy,
Squelchtone

Squelchtone, that's a beautiful picking station! I also had a good laugh at the "cash box nuts" part. :shock: :lol:
