Not much today. After looking at the face plate, I decided I did not like the mahogany stain and a couple of of other little things, so I made a new face plate tonight. 1/2 hour and a new face plate! Got to love the laser cutter. Did some sanding also, I just the feel of a well sanded piece of wood. :)

I also started the schematic just for documentation. At this point I am doing simple point to point wiring on a proto-board. I might do a board later. I wanted to try out using the laser to make one. I had read where you spray paint or use sharpie to cover the board. Then use the laser to burn it away, then etch, and then even use the laser to cut through holes and routes (if you use a paper based pcb vs FR4).

The goal for this weekend is to finish up the proto-board and stain the box. With the clear coat and work on the finishing the code next week.
