The "Homer"

This is probably not the normal kind of woodworking project seen on this site. My buddy Jeff and I worked on this project together for his daughter’s softball team. He needed a cover for a portable stereo system that he had built onto a small wagon. Each girl has her own favorite song that is played when they come up to bat, so its a very “eye of the tiger” inspirational thing for the team. We created a mold out of poplar supports, hardboard, and a $1.99 bowl from Dollar General. From that we applied aluminum foil, layers of fiberglass, a bondo/resin mixture, sanded, painted, applied some decals and placed it on top of the wagon stereo. Future plans are to add some hydraulics to raise and lower the cover.
