Feet for your DR's

Very simple solution for level stacking without messing around with loose wedges.

Good looking cabs.

Good solution. My only problem with it is that it screws up packing. If space is tight any protrusion on a cab always seems to be in the way. If you've got the space, it is a simple and elegant solution.

I like David's many thoughtful innovations, and the "wheels on everything" theme. I wish I had a larger gear truck so that I could do the same.

Its UK product made very close to home by a company called Aldcrofts Adhesives. Water based, very quick to dry and put on with a cheap textured roller gives a very nice finish. I imagine it is very similar to duratex. The finish is all down to using a textured roller.

I like the "brave roadie/that's gonna hurt" sketch, and envy your "kitchen" :)

Do you have a link for that UK duratex alternative?

I am fortunate to have a double garage. One side has my van snuggled in with my PA (safe and does not need unpacking when I get back from a gig) the other side has my workshop area.

The kitchen units I got on special offer at B&Q and I think they cost about £25-30 per cabinet including doors, worktops cost about £40 from a local kitchen place. Very cheap for what I have ended up with....What can I say, I am very anal .... :lol:
