For a recently renovated theater, I designed and built a light-control panel from brushed aluminum and walnut.

Oh God the detail of the labels is perfect. I know the rest is art but including the accurate paper labels. I need to take a cold shower.

Now this is a proper build. Unlike your two switch power controler 🤣. This would pass an electrical approval inspection. Nice craftsmanship on this cabinet build.

My Father made power supplies and voltage regulators back in the late 50's and early 60's. They weren't nearly as pretty as this. Basic steel can painted red with a decal on them. Yours are art!!!

Wow! That is a beautiful piece of art. I love the Art Deco details.

I hope young people are intrigued enough to pursue stuff like this. It would be a shame to lose skill sets like these. Enjoying your personality as well Wesley
Cheers from B.C.

Your projects are amazing and you are a master at bringing out the retro features in them. I too am an “old skool” gadget junkie! I love watching your builds, your commentary, and your common sense resolutions to challenges we all face when trying new things! Thanks for sharing your creative gifts with us!

Improvising the resawing of the top with the table saw and recip saw was genius!

Making new things in old styles is just the greatest.

In order to see the control names in the dark, I would've loved to have seen an LED, backlit, control panel on this... amazing piece of artwork you created there --- so gorgeous! Love me some Deco design!

The crest at the end of the built is amazing. Wow.
