Perhaps make a magnetic mount cover plate and turn the oops into the notch to pop it? Or, if you can bear to do it, make a new cover slightly enlarged on just that side and carefully rout the extra couple of mm’s to remove the gouge.
Yeah, that sounds like the go, a wide-ish half moon thumbnail to pop off a magnetic cover plate. You could make up a wooden cover to match the rear or a contrasting one matching the front.Quote:

So other than making a rear cover I am calling this done.
Struggled with how to do a nice logo as is for my Aunt, and missus suggested a name pendant, so ordered one of ebay and paid a massive 20c for a couple of fine screws from an Optometrist and really happy how it turned out.
So next up on the bench is the attached.
What started as a single kit build to keep busy while going through some personal stuff has turned into a swagload of kit builds ( only the "Ziltoid" to finish once i can bring myself back to working on the neck again :mad:) and now full scratch builds.
Totally hooked now.
I completely identify with that comment.Quote:
