Seems like a cool circuit. What is it based on? Is it a kitset?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

All bar the shouting. Faceplate turned up yesterday but was wrong, from the internet and I didn't check it against the actual chassis. I spent an hour so with autocad today doing one that actually matches :)

Back panel ready for cutout and tolexing on the morrow. And then Fanny is your Auntie!

I'll do an update then... nothing until.

Thanks buddy, I'm pretty stoked with how this is turning out. I should have checked that drawing, not all your fault. I think this will be a cracker of a half stack :D

Hey, time for an update!

Can you tell what it is?

This is literally 2 1/2 hours of my life I'm never getting back.

The beast... 19mm of roundover death. Keep fingers well away.

Why I'm never doing this again..... that is the plywood back, sacrificial wood for the router bit and a straight edge for one of the sides first....

I will do this again, but it will cost a hand shandy extra ;)
