For Panel Builder users.. $30 vs $3000 Make real looking gauges.

I used mfd, $4 acrylic sheets and mason jar lids to make this cover to replicate the C172 I started training in. If anyone is interested in how to do it - check out&nbsp;https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f8vvhxret...t5OVXHl_a?dl=0. Any questions send me a message.<br><br>Cheers<br>DustBeats

EDIT..mason jar Bands..not lids.

Nice job. How did you cut the centers out of the mason jars? Where did you buy your mason jars?

What happened to gherkins, have you eaten all of them?

:mrgreen: :???:

Besides, -
the end result is beautiful, Well done.

Thanks, Actually I just used the bands for the top of canning jars bought at a local department store (Big Lots here in N.C.) for like $2.00. (Comes in a box with lids and bands) - any canning jar lid band matching the size of your hole cutting saw will do. The box of "regular" size bands worked with 2 1/2" hole cutter and "wide mouth (lol)" size worked with 3 1/2" cutter.
