The chassis for the Source Selector Unit / Preamp is out of the clamps. I removed the clamps, cleaned up the little bit of glue squeeze out at the joints, and gave it a light sanding. It looks fantastic.
I was a little worried about how it would be sitting after I got the clamps in place. It appeared that it might not be quite flat. However, when I laid it on the cast iron top of my table saw, it was perfectly flat. And a quick checked showed it to be just about perfectly square as well. Here’s how it looks.
This is one of my best looking chassis yet. The grain is striking but not overpowering and the detailing is very clean.
And remember the bloodwood I was going to use for this project? The board with the “decided twist”? I found a use for that board as well. Two uses actually.
One of these will be a mounting board for an old brass industrial line voltage meter; circa early 20th century. The other will be fashioned into a table top for a small side table to go by my fireplace. Somewhere to put my mead glass or tea mug when I’m relaxing by the fire.
As always, questions and comments are welcome.
