    Utilising Ashtray space....

    Being non-smokers we decided to get rid of the ashtray and it turned out to be a good place to put the voltmeter and a few switches. Used ply as the base (which was a mistake as it chipped easily) and painted it black. My scroll-sawing leaves a lot to be desired, but it turned out reasonably well. If I decide to redo it, I'll use MDF, but this will probably do.....lol

    As a new non smoker, probable over one year now, this looks like a great idea.
    Will see what I can come up with, thanks for sharing.
    @ jay see ply wood but MDF would be better
