Feet prints would make for a novel product - maybe sand cast them out of aluminum?

Since I have an unlimited data plan I stream music from one of my favorite Pandora stations and can run music 24/7. I also have hundreds of songs saved to the phone in the case of a no-reception area. I also use the phone as a wifi hotspot for our portable devices and mounting the cup up high gets me the best local reception. It also serves as a phone and I can leave it in the cup while talking on the phone since the output sound is piped through the stereo. And I use some of the apps for camping like the timer for brewing coffee or as a wake up alarm. Pretty useful!

I make a phone holder that doesn't stick out as much used the same way. Mounts with VHB tape.

If I was going to do it and have ease of reset for different patterns but keep time and cost down .. I would use a pantograph router machine and go with 2024 T3 .125 Alum fast cutting carbide spiral router bits.. Just saying :} Sand casting would be time consuming and the finishing work would take a fair bit. Add a drill press with a tool steel jig for drilling the mount brackets to match different stabilizers and your good. I only used the T6 as it was laying around the shop taking up space.

No fair but sadly still incorrect :}. One of the guesses is close , the other is sort of close but note that is a pen next to the thing with wires just to hold it up and give it scale. Both will be completed today along with a few others pictures will follow :}

Close guesses on the one item. CPAHarley got the Oak Identified by Jim B They are new support strips for the table if It is ever lowered down to bed position. The old ones were very soft pine which I found out when I put the tie down cleats on . So Remade them added some more cleats and reinstalled. The LED is a bolt for a license plate however, I am using 2 of them as directed lighting for the step (White) and the door well (Blue). The vent that had been cut into the bathroom door had allowed moisture to build up and a slight bit of mold had taken hold. I bleached it let it air out and picked up the boat style vents , using a piece of pvc pipe cut to slip between the door panels sealed in with marine adhesive silicone then put the vents over the holes. So the door internals are now sealed from moisture and the vents look a little better. The vent mount holes were a little closer together then the original so the little dabs of black are just the holes filled in will wood putty them later. More Mods to come anyone else going to play ?:}

The cleats are a great idea. I know we often travel with lots of stuff on the floor under there, and it does shift around a fair bit. This would help hold things in place better. Maybe a couple on the front of the bench, near the floor as well.
