Towerguys baron project part 15

[Towerguy]

making the circuit panel body
cutting out the main parts

first attempt I tried metal fittings but wasn't getting the result I wanted

so it was back to wood


all drilled out and round filed from the inside out

a test fitting

first bit of paint

gradually coming together

a couple of shots of the first build


undercoating

top coating

installed - lower left of photo


there will be lots more to this as none of it is even made up for wiring yet - I hope to connect it all as a keyboard replacement - well thats the idea anyway.

cheers till next time

So you are going to use this pit for type-training in a commercial setting, right?

Towerguy,

I can imagine how this is going to turn out at the end, of course if there is an end to cockpit building. Your work looks neat and it has a feel of professional touch. All your recent four posts revel that.

Talking of scavenging isn't that how we combat money. I have used two unexpected things when I made my over head panel. A white plastic cutting board and an old vinyl record whose songs I didn't care for.

Regards,

ermias

yes I have been eyeing up the plastic cutting boards in the local $2 shop, possibly to use when I redo the undercarriage workings ... but I hadn't thought about the big box of old vinyl records under the stairs!

[quote]- I am trying a variation on Johns method. I did find out that you cannot use an inkjet to print onto plastic card - it just doesn't dry and smudges badly

[Towerguy]

thanks, I'll have another read through
cheers
