After looking at your videos. It is seem you go for a true "home crafted" look. Try using the masonite and plastic formica laminate, or even 1/8 corion (from kitchen counter mfr)or try this, even 1/4 leawan mahogany plywood or birch veneer plywood, silk screened with your graphics and finished with a clear coat of satin or flat clear finish.

This would be very "homey" and natural, giving you a warm crafted feel. To do what you are doing is "one in a 1000!" few do this real hands on any more! Congratulations!

Of course the purist aesthetic would be to produce a metal powder coated silk screen painted face panel. but another option too, is having the face panel made from bi-color laminated plastic. where they cut the graphics into the face of the plastic . like those signs that say EX, "office" "rest rooms" "store hours" ETC.

These types pf signs where very popular in the 60's through the 80's---but they can still be found/made and produced. The plastic is like for instance black on the top laminate with a white core stock. the sign cutter cuts through the black on top to expose the white underneith. this creates the sign.

You should try laminating formica (brand) laminated plastic on to 1/8 hard board (masonite) and then drill you holes for the switches and the poteniometers. It will be far more aesthetically pleasing and enduring then paper glued to hard board. you can have the graphics silk screened unto the plastic laminate for a true real real pro look!! :-)-(use your current paper lay out as a guide to give to the silk screen artist)

how did you make your front panel?
what is your panel made of?

1/8th inch hardboard, with a laminated paper front. I originally wanted to use plexiglass, but that ended up not working too well - it cracked. I printed two copies of the panel on 11x17 paper, used one as the drilling guide, and laminated the other for the final product.
