I also picked up my controls a got a set of morse controls from the 60's at a marine junkyard they were in great shape except that the chrome was peeling off so i sand blasted off the chrome and i started to polish the solid bronze body they are going to look mint.



Does anyone have any pics of there towers control,wheel and dash setup?
 
I just finished my tower this past weekend. I had a 40 inch box with the space for the compass but it was too small for me with the yamaha dual binnacle so i went with the Birdsall Large Control box.

Local tech schools or community colleges often have night courses on the subject. You could be proficient in no time :)

But you have to TIG aluminum, don't you? And isn't that much more difficult/expensive?

Great work by the way! Wish my 25' Grady had a tower, the view from the hardtop is sweet. :)

Very Nice.
 
Looks good !
I've been watching & looking for a while. I was hoping to see Dale's go on soon so I can get some ideas.
I went ahead a few weeks ago.
Dry fit this week, and will be installed this weekend.
