Yeah, I made some out of .125" board from HD (dark brown smooth on one sde, textured on the other) and they're perfect. First saw them on Kurt's site. The one problem I have is they messed up the view of the curve. Staples worked fine.
Probably overdid it. Apart from one form being slightly off, which releasing from the L bracket fixed, they look perfect. If there was a step to overdo, this was it
Thanks!
