Oh man, I remember when you buit that cab, GREAT design.  Yeah, yours look SUPERB!

I was thinking about using home made dust washers.  It kinda depends on what it looks like once I get the base up as high as I can.

how handy are you with drills and and a round file? you could make the panel top out of 1.6mm steel. the 4/8 way switch im guessing moves in an arc so you need to drill a hole at each end of the arc and jigsaw it (with steel cutting blade naturally). im thinking of using the omnis myself and i too would like to hide the plate. im thinking of makng my panel from fibreglass though...

huh?

The top panel will be made of the clear epoxy goo.  like a bar top.  if I wanted metal on top, I'd just go with the plate that came on the joystick.

Jigsawing is almost definatly how I'll go for the switch.  I just hope this epoxy doesn't chip or anything.  Any advise on how to cut the stuff safely?

I suspect the epoxy will kind of melt, not chip. I'm not speaking from experience though.

While your working with the epoxy You may want to spread some on a scrap piece of birch and try cutting/drilling that first. Test pieces are always a good idea. while your at it you could experiment with stains under the epoxy.

Sounds like a cool cp. Be sure to post pics of your results.

it's more of a Pour.  You have to mix it 1:1 and then mix it well, but not whip because that will create bubbles, then pour it into the CP.

I agree I SHOULD work with a sample piece, but I'm so lazy I hate doing things twice.  I mean...I'm not Stingray but I'm not super motivated.  ;)
