You've got brass balls, man.  I like the extra-cryptic interface, so only you know how to use it.  Sneaky!  Are the black knobs wood or metal?

knobs are the stock aluminum ones that  have a round indent - i drilled and siliconed the same brass furniture nails in that  i used for the source selector spots-

thanx-

i just hope i didnt have it planed down too soon after glueing the pieces together-noticed a small split in the seam on one of the ends yesterday-12 hrs might not have been long enough-oh well live and learn-

also wish i had the knowledge and tools to do it with dovetail joints on the ends instead of the ugly butt joint-

the design works nice-easy access to the tubes inside and out-looks sweet with the extra tubes visable-

and it goes over the steel cover thats stock with the unit-makes me feel better if there was a fire of some kind inside-


btw -first time i used spell check-it doesnt like -thanx
