I love the fact that people are making the effort and taking the time to make these phono amps look like works of art.
Usually an aluminium case does for me, with some engraving and anodising as fitting, so well done chaps.

Thanks, bought it ages ago for an ongoing speaker project , got too much for them so thought I'd use some for this 2 sheets enough for the top and front. I have some dark walnut for the sides and will probably finish wil oil of some kind . to be decided! |

Thanks Alan , here's hoping Best thing is I had all this stuff wood, veneer etc here anyway so it hasn't cost a penny extra. The Aluminium was very kindly donated by Cycleallday over on AOS - another bonus. Veneernumpty next, lol |

I bet the contrast will be fantastic when they are oiled, or finished in your choice of polish.

Well that went ok , annoyingly a small gap opened on the joint, about half a mil. Think the glue pulled it aprt whne drying, I'll bodge it up with some wax or something. Quite plwased for a 1st effort though.  |
