A lot of these pictures are self explanatory. Essentially I gave up on trying to make the metal supporting hardware removable. As far as I understand... This is aluminum stock. Which means its next to impossible to rust.

"Fun fact: it is possible to make AL or aluminum flammable under the right circumstances. If broken down to a fine powder and mixed with a few other elements it becomes possible to oxidize. However, the way it does is often times rapid. Observed as a spontaneous combustion type reaction."

So, with that I decided to bury it under the paint with layers of card type paper. I am still working on the painting of it, but rest assured I will get that much done next Thursday. Many apologies for being a few hours late. Its midnight and I sort of wanted to study something my mentors needed me to. In a nutshell I had a fear I needed to overcome.

Side Note of my Night
I started building a bench top multi-meter. I hope to use in this project and many others. I am not crazy about transformers. So, with the ones I bought a year or so ago being in a box... Ya know gathering dust? I decided to try to wire them. 12-0-12 and 6-0-6 type.

My mentor in the electronics side of music has been teaching me basic safety and testing procedures on transformers reaching near 300vac. Where it conditioned it to near 500vdc. I am working with a mere 24vac at best. A 120vac that I already had a a run down with tech school. Though I did not make it to electrical panel wiring. So, yea I have no desire to pull wire. Even if I was taught how.. no one could pay me enough to do this hours on end.
