It's funny that you mention that... mel and I were talking about that last weekend. There are very few parts in this build that we have had to do twice... I think we take our time on some things and others we just got lucky. I know I am having a blast!

Here are some pics of a little handle I designed last night in the shop. The need for this handle is to access a Dzus button at the front of the dog house. It is right under the duct for the HVAC. No way to reach it other than with this little "extension".
I roughed it out in steel, took those numbers to work and modeled it up in UG. I then sent the file to my pal in the fab shop and I had parts in my hand at lunch time!!!!
Here is the handle as I modeled it in UG. It's about three inches long.

A few hours later I had parts in my hand.

After I got home from a VERY long day at work I put a bit of a bend on the handle.

I ground a flat spot on the button (mostly to remove the galvanizing) and spot welded the handle in place.
Prior to welding.

After welding and a little clean up with the grinder. This position is the open position

Here is a shot with the button closed. With the handle like this it will be tucked up under the air duct, out of sight.

And one with it open for removal. This is easily reached as it sticks out past the duct. I'll get some more pics later.

This makes it real simple to get the buttons out for doghouse removal. I plan to add this handle to all of the buttons on the cover. They will get painted black and most of them you won't be able to see anyway. I think they look pretty cool...
