Aluminum Cases

[greyghost]

I want to mill the case for my amp out of aluminum and I'm lookin' for some ideas. Did any of you guys cut yours out of aluminum,? Pics?

if you need/want a custom case, go fer it. some of my other electronics (not audio) have a custom machined aluminum case, verrrrry pretty.

is there not a premade extruded/cast aluminum case that will not work appropraitely?

thre are places that will custom mill out 1 set of end-panels for you...

heres a pic of a set (well, the front) of something i made a while back:

Well that wouldn't be any fun now would it?

Nice job.

I've got a mill, lathe, everything necessary to make the case on my own, so I don't think I'll pay the hefty fee for somebody to do it for me. Just tryin' to decide on how to lay out the knobs and switches, etc, for right now.
