814301 2009-10-08 09:47:00 Yeh was thinking about painting the galv black but didnt kind of like it. looks industrial. :) bluezone (12434)
814302 2009-10-08 09:55:00 Paint it black! Black makes any case look good hueybot3000 (3646)

Designed up the template for where all holes have to go on the front. Program I use is TurboCAD Pro 16.

After designing in TurboCAD to scale i save it as a EPS and opened it in Adobe Illustrator CS4 and made this up. Gives you a idea on what it will look like.

Tomorrow im going to print the template out at work on A3 as i only have a A4 printer so hope to start cutting the panel this weekend.


Thanks for looking.
