Finally finished my over-engineered pop tester!
Cost about $75 in materials and a few hours of labor.
      And yes, I did radius the edges of the base board...

Looks nice even without the stain. Can you tell us what parts you used and how you did it. So as people like me can copy it

Great job!!! Does this mean I can send you my injectors now?
Seriously, nice job, but I wouldn't try to paint treated wood!

what do you all think of this gauge?
 12.99 at harbor freight... nice big numbers, liquid filled, looks like a really nice gauge... maybe not accurate enough for a pop tester though...
