Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: Latest project

Love the metalwork! I see the same nickel plate screws from McMaster-Carr that my friend used.

You could always do another iteration of the front panel using FrontPanelExpress. You'd be amazed at the the capabilities of that CAD
too - for one, it will do both ANSI and DIN countersunk screws. I think
what would be most exciting to use would be the capability to cut inlays
and depths into the front panel. For instance, recessing the power switch
like is done on Audio Research or Threshhold gear of yore. Also, you can
do radius-rounded corners - eliminating those sharp edges!

You could also do wild projects using Front Panel Express - like cutting
out a rounded internal aperture that you could put some cut glass sheet
behind.. Then, you could like the glass - this is an visual idea I'm ripping off from the Moscode amp!
