    Thanks everyone for your help. It came out OK, works great.
    This was my first and I learned a lot with a lot of tips from within this board.

    That looks very warm. Tell us more.

    What are the reasons for choosing a karo step over traditional baffles?

    Thats Great I finished my Karo UQ today to. Yours looks really good.

    I like the colors and it looks like you lined the baffles up perfectly.

    That looks fantastic! It looks thick enough to float down a river! LOL

    Interested in more details when you get the time. Good job!

    Looks fantastic. Can you go over the very basic steps you took to make it? I think I'd like to make a 3/4 Karo uq soon.
