Thanks, Gents!   Full disclosure, I make many of my posts in arrears.  Initially, I let the pics accumulate a bit until I'm far enough along to call it a project and not just an experiment.  Then I break up the projects posts into installments that make sense to me.  At this stage, I've got the staves mostly shaped how I want them, with just a little more left to do.  I did take a little breather to start tinkering with the lighting part.  I'll be diverging from the original two-socket design and will be using LEDs instead (with dimmer).
