$2 Bezel...
Tailgunner:
I had some time to kill today and made a bezel for my Dynamo cab. Actually I made 3 different patterns, and will make the final bezel as soon as I pick up a sheet of black posterboard.
I did a initial pattern in a CAD program, and after doing so I found out neither the monitor frame is square nor is the monitor centered and level in the frame. ;) After screwing up two bezels trying to compensate I made the third by just cutting the pieces oversize and trimming them back till they fit. I took pictures of the second pattern and will post them here to show how it was made as it mounts differently that my last pattern.
First pic, side pieces after cutting them out.

Next pic, folding a piece after scoring it along the bend line.

Stapling the corner flanges together.
Tailgunner:
The second pattern in the cab. So-so, but I can do better. ;)
Tailgunner:
The third pattern assembled. Instead of using the cabinet flange to support the bezel I boxed this one so it supports itself.
