Step 18Put on a pretty face

put on a pretty face
now we'll clean up the front of the box. again, this is much easier if you use dials rather than sliders. there are a wide variety of knobs you can just buy that fit right onto your dials. there's probably existing knobs that will fit my slders too, but i couldn't find them so i made my own:

1) cut a dust cover for the sliders. i used a piece of black vinyl cloth, cut to shape with a knife.

2) glue the dust cover onto the face plate over the sliders

3) glue hex nuts to the ends of the slider knobs

4) glue colored plastic (or paint) the ends of the knobs

5) paint the rest of the metal face plate
