Excellent build! I am jealous of your CNC and related faceplate skills. The toner transfer/etch/spraypaint stuff I do is a pain... Did you have any problems with the rivets behind the faceplates? I always drill them out and put in new screws through the faceplate corners on Hammond builds, but it doesn't look like there's much bend after everything was installed. Maybe I am doing extra work for no reason?

There wasn't enough bend to really worry about. I thought about cutting shallow pockets on the back of the plates to allow for it, but I don't think it was worth the trouble.

I have updated the 1st post on the 1st page with the latest and greatest.
