decided to build a tube amp for my nephew. step one was to fabricate the front panel. this is all made in my basement workshop. time elapsed from start to complete is 2.5 hours. it is made from 2" x 1/8" 6061 T651 Aluminum Bar stock. total cost for materials is about $2.
This will be a 5 week project as that's when the transformers are set to arrive.

Sorry,I don't understand your question.
I presume he was referring to the lettering?.
I filled the letters with black crayon.
I think the question was referring to how you created the letters in the metal, not how you filled them in?
BTW - it looks really great.
The letters are v-carved on my DIY CNC router.
Nice
How about some pictures (or a video?) of that?
There's some video of the cnc and lots of pictures in the build thread at Dave's made from samples benchtop router thread
Top polished and installed. Just need some tube sockets to arrive and i can wire this one.
Very nicely done Totally opposite to my creations
