I've updated the Home Docks page again with the latest news and photos.

Basically, the two sheets of "tempered hardboard" (for the back panels) arrived today and.. it's the real stuff!. I wish I'd had material this nice for all of the earlier docks, as it is so much easier to machine and handle in the shop -- nice crisp edges, clean cuts with no sanding/clean-up, and it looks rather handsome as well. Plenty stiff enough, even better than the really old stuff was.

Folks are going to be very happy with these back panels!

We now have over 130 complete sets of dock parts cut out and machined to final form. Still gotta notch out the serial port connector holes, and drill for screws, and cut biscuit slots.. but the end is in sight! Or rather, the beginning of gluing up new docks is in sight!

Cheers
