Or possibly both!

hello all,
i know what you mean - i absolutely hate building my own panels, i just seem to have a problem getting everything just right
not that i'm cack handed mind (well technically i am - cack handed also being a uk term for left handed) - as i'm currently also refurbishing a Leslie 147, complete with huge spider that i've named Don, and a massive EMT plate reverb, but i just seem to have a mental block when it comes to drilling holes in a straight line, and spray painting the correct side of the panel
however, i've come to a happy arrangement with myself
i get the panel pretty close, i don't even spray it, quick once over with dry transfer lettering and three coats of automotive lacquer - the secret that keeps me from sleepless nights is that eventually i'll buy a load of Paul's blanking panels, get someone else to drill the holes, and invest in a load of screen printing
or maybe i won't...
cheers
paul b
