The top is 0.1" thick plate and the front is 1/8" bar. I build them to last and 0.1" is thick enough to tap threads into. The wood was scrap. The thing is, i've only got about $7 of material in it.
Really nice build.
Forgive my ignorance, do you just rub the crayon over the lettering the sand back?

that works but your fingers will get tired. i hit the back with a propane torch for about 5 seconds to heat it up a bit and the crayon goes on easily and rubs right off with a cotton rag. it also mkes the letters look better because the torch takes the porosity out of the crayon.
5 weeks after ordering the tube sockets on ebay and i get an email telling me they were returned to the vendor in china and can't be shipped for 3 weeks because they are on holiday there. I ordered them locally this time and hopefully I'll be building this amp early next week.
Traced the hum down to a dirty/defective volume pot. Tried cleaning it. If that doesn't work i'll order a new one. Somewhat annoyed because the replacement part is $1.50 and shipping is $7.
