Step 4: Finishing touches
A brass cover was cut and drilled to slot over the vintage rhinestones and hold them in place. The picture to the right is of an unused earlier design being cut with the scroll saw .
We wanted to include an engraved name plaque on the keyboard but lacked engraving tools , so we decided to make our own out of a screwdriver by angle grinding and filing it to shape. When the engraving was complete, the plaque was cut from the brass sheet and inlaid into a chiselled out space on the wooden front support.
The final stage was to make a wooden tray for the Das ' controller and main boards to sit inside, and secure it with brass screws to the front, back and side pieces, with the faceplate on top.
With this done the keyboard was complete!

Time wise, it's hard to gauge. It's something we've spent a few hours on here and there over a few months. The cost of the materials is around the region of 300usd, give or take a few, with the Das, brass and leather being the most costly parts. Cheers!
TU MUY BIEN!!!
