It doesnt feel too short to me but then im used to shortish sticks anyway so i dont notice the extra 6mm. the aluminuim was just to give something nice for the vinyl contact to stick to but i guess it would strengthen it a little...
just had a thought though. you could just do a shallow route on the top side, cut a large hole for the joy to sit in and skin it in ali like mine. then the effect would be the same as if the joys were mounted to a metal panel. drawback would be the wacky shaped hole youd have to cut i guess.
you could just make it from metal...

A quick off-topic question Danny,
What did you use to drill through the aluminum? Was it just a standard hole saw or did you use a forstner bit? I checked your website, but you don't say specifically.

Mine is barely touching the ground. I had to tuck it DOUBLE to stay away from TROUBLE. ;D

Sorry, I obviously can't answer this for Danny but...
I have just been making an aluminium CP for my analog controls, and used a hole punch (or Knockout as I believe they are commonly known) for button holes. Oscar swears by Greenlee punches, although I only bought a cheap one as a) I don't need to make many holes and b) I couldn't find any better ones in the UK anyway... The punch worked superbly ;D
