Kauri Road Brewery 2.5

A pretty hard out half day spent today cutting holes in my control panel. It's now ready to paint.

I still have a few bits and pieces to arrive but have enough to be comfortable hacking through steel safe in the knowledge I've measured thrice.

I used a jigsaw and did a lot of filing for all the rectangular holes, every single round hole was accomplished with chassis punches. Thus they are clean as a whistle, so satisfying.

Photos are of the stress test – making sure everything fits in this very tight space. Success!

Front – missing is the Auber JSL-73B timer (coming)

Bottom – missing are the chassis mounts for the Auber probes (coming)

Top – heatsink in place.

I've cleaned up around the cable hatch (isn't quite covered by the heatsink) with JB Weld, once that's set I"ll sand the whole thing down and prime and paint.

By the time that's done the timer and probes will have arrived and I'll be wiring. Exciting.

Cheers!
