The first two pix show you the atmospheric vents for the gauges as well as the shiny new penny that I add to all of my projects ( that aren’t cutting boards ) indicating the year that they are made : ) People seem to love that feature : ) The last picture I was just trying to show you the face quality of the gauges even though they are plastic…..$40 for the whole kit , minus the wood at your local Woodcraft store…I also used different router bits than they suggest to use in their kit literature …..They had suggested a simple Ogee bit .
“BAM” , I think I kicked it up a notch or two , but you folks can let me know your thoughts. Peace and happiness to everyone : )

Great looking “weather station”. I really like the way you incorporated the Galileo thermometer into the unit!

This is very nice. Gives me an idea for my own dad’s birthday coming up.

howdy neighbor
I figure you are a neighbor cause West Springfield is the Woodcraft store that I shop at too. Looks good, I like the penny idea was the Galileo part of the kit or extra??

That’s a great looking project. I always liked the Galileo thermometer.
Anyone know what Galileo’s first name is?

FredF… Yes , the thermometer is also part of the kit : )......the kit has the four gauges that you see pictured plus a picture of how they made theirs and instructions on how to build your own…..they don’t mention anything about venting the gauges but I can’t see them working properly without being vented to detect moisture , etc. . thanks for viewing my project : )
Miket , yes , it is Mister
