Nicely made filler panel you created. That will look really clean when it is all done. Great work.

The one you did is harder to make and shows the skills you have. Great work as usual.

You should. You have it figured out now and the next ones shouldn't take anywhere near as long to produce. I'm sure they would sell well.
