Yeah, the metal ones seemed to offer much greater security than the plastic ones.

 

I think plastics where much cheaper to produce & ship than metal cabinets.

Yeah, would weigh much less. Have you ever tried making your own alarm panel?

Actually I think you'll find the customer requested 'Moonlight Shadow'.

 

A customer once painted one of my ext. speakers some sort of 'Sunset over Torremolenos' fake tan shade and was very proud when I went back at service...

Smoker?

Lol, no it really was some horrible paint job.

Wish I'd thought of that, I had to make do with sticking flat bits of ABS together with DCM.

 

I made a continuity tester thing, made it in a circular casing all vacuum formed.

I made disco lights, yes using a kit (those lethal, direct off the mains ones Maplins used to sell, PartyLite?) but still got full marks as it was only GCSE level

and I made my own switch panels, MDF cases, etc... which was more what they were after anyway i.e. woodworking and metalwork skillz.

 

And that's why they call me Disco Stu.

 

(Nobody calls me Disco Stu.)
