Control Panel overlay or not?

<< < (2/2)

Agent Davis:
I also had a panel before I made my own that had plexi on it.  It had a few carriage bolts holding it in.  If your cp in rectangular, one in each corner should do it.  Your controls will hold it down too.

Something to keep in mind, picking graphics for your cab is sort of like choosing a tattoo. Think about it, it's going to be there for a while. That's why my whole cabinet is still just black! :P

Slug, ss you can tell from the picture that are no bolts visiable at all.  I think this looks much better.  Yes, it is held down with the buttons. I have two kids ages 8 and 4 and it is holding up just great.  

I would cut all straight edges with a plixiglass cutting knife.  You jus score the hell out of it then snap it.  It works very nice.   For the rounded corners I used a rotary saw.  I bought one for about 60 bucks.  I also used this to cut all the holes in my plexi for buttons, joysticks, spinner, and trackball.  Here is a link to the saw I bought.
