thanks for the compliments
you can do it man, we need more guys building stuff and sharing their thoughts! I tend to work on stuff when I feel like it, so I'm not typically in any big rush, that helps a lot with the stuff I don't like doing as much. There are a few things I would do different as well, but you don't realize it till after the fact.
I posted a link in the fab forum for a program to make a template for the notches. It made the process a little easier. After that it's just time.
