More back panel

This where the power cord that plugs into the wall will run.

We filled the gaps and screw holes with wood filler.

I rounded the turret edges with a 1/2″ roundover bit.

We attached this to help with handling the heavy panels. Barb and I were having a really hard time dealing with the panel once we made it double thickness. I brought a scale to work today and weighted it. 184 POUNDS!!! No wonder we were having trouble lifting it. With the hinged swing attached to the table we were able to tilt it down and then balance it on caster carts, roll it into the shop and spin it around, then tilt it back onto the table to work on the other side.

UPDATE I just found a picture of the back wall that shows that it is only a double layer along the top turret area and at the four spots where the side walls attach. Building that way has two advantages. 1) It will reduce the weight to about 115 lbs. instead of 184 lbs. and 2) It would require one less 4 x 8 sheet of MDF.
