Hi, you spend so much time in your project, but the cable salad isn't fine. Why you don't let brazed some cable guides like ....

Otherwise I like your work especially the head badges

Well, as I mentioned there are still finishing touches to be applied. I prefer to get the routing situated before I put on the chrome cable guides. The cables still need to be trimmed a bit.

Fantastic job - I really admire your work especially the ingenious approach to making the truss rods and the badges. Thanks
