That is great. Hats off! I am doing a very similar project ie powder coating and intensive isolation. I plan to execute with Linn Ittok Arm though w/ a lace wood arm board. I think she will be pretty hot. Hey if you dont mind me asking How did you go about adding the mass to the platter and to the body? At any rate that is a piece of art to be very proud of.
