Hey all,
My brother was throwing out an audio mixer with a big sheet of black (looks anodised) aluminium about 400x1000x1 mm for the backplate with a few screw holes round the edges (its a bit scratched but with a lick of paint i reckon itll look cool).
It looked perfect to make a nice (or maybe two) side plates for a pc, and I've sketched out a few designs etc but cant think of a good way to cut the design out.
Best thought I had was to drill holes round the edge of the pattern, cut it out with a hacksaw 1mm from the edge and file it down for the last mm and paint over the exposed edge.
Think this'll work?
Any other ideas on how to cut out the design?
Cheers,
Chris
