Flason Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Anyone have a pair of Cornwall grills they would like to part with. My new project is a pair of '78 Cornwalls that 1 grill is toast. Actually the cloth is still salvagable but the board is broken. I really don't have a color preference. I remember seeing some at one tme on the board but the new search is not as friendly (good) as the old search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I'll be making a BUNCH of them here pretty shortly if you can wait and pay shipping. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy81 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I just made a pair. I used the 2x4 sheets they sell in HD, 1/4" thick. Used one other to trace the holes and size. They look as good as the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flason Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 That sounds like a good deal to me Michael. Thanks for the offer. I'm not allowed near sharp or pointy objects. I had to promise the motorcycle dealer I wouldn't work on the bike in order to buy one. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look as good as the original. 2x4 sheets of what? Drywall? MDF? Plywood? Just curious as to what works for you. I'll be regrilling mine soon, and am weighing various alternatives. Thanks!

HatTrick66 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 has anybody ever tried a "decorator" style grill? A nicely finished piece of quality wood with the holes cut out is what I was thinking about that could be swapped out with the originals. Might make for a nice change of pace? What do you guys think?

You'd see the edges and the gap between them and the motor board. I think they might look okay from a distance but I'm too close to mine for this to work well, I'd think. Nice idea though. Give it a go and let us know how it works for you. It'd be easy to get the wood preveneered, you'd just have to cut and finish it.

Rudy81 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The material I used is very similar, if not identical, to the original. It is a tempered hardboard that looks like the pegboard stuff, but is solid. Color is brown and comes in various thicknesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for decorator grills, I've been thinking of using corrugated tin (in honor of PWK's first workshop), but I can't decide between horizontal or verticle placement. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
