    Looks nice! I still haven't got all the parts for my control panel build. This weekend I'm going to build a bench like the one Kal made and a matching Vent hood like the one here.

    I've been researching different electric builds for a while and this design is exactly what I'm looking for. My Father in-law used to be an electrician so he is going to help me get a new circuit setup with a GFCI for this. I think i'm going to use the second design with two indicator lights...
