My Father made power supplies and voltage regulators back in the late 50's and early 60's. They weren't nearly as pretty as this. Basic steel can painted red with a decal on them. Yours are art!!!

[@hullinstruments]

Dude!!!!! You seriously need to change the video title to include keywords like “DIY electronics enclosures, synth, synthesizer case cabinet, guitar pedals, boxes, electronics test gear test equipment lab”, stuff like that!!!! I thought I had seen every good KZbin tutorial on enclosure building… as someone with a full machine shop in my basement, who builds guitars for a living, And with a fully functional electronica lab full of vintage test gear that I restored myself… I can’t tell you how valuable this video is! I’m seriously impressed!

[@WesleyTreat]

Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@rodneybosco7376]

Improvising the resawing of the top with the table saw and recip saw was genius!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Wow! That is a beautiful piece of art. I love the Art Deco details.

[@forthrightnight]

I hope young people are intrigued enough to pursue stuff like this. It would be a shame to lose skill sets like these. Enjoying your personality as well Wesley Cheers from B.C.

[@Free_Spirit7]

Your projects are amazing and you are a master at bringing out the retro features in them. I too am an “old skool” gadget junkie! I love watching your builds, your commentary, and your common sense resolutions to challenges we all face when trying new things! Thanks for sharing your creative gifts with us!

[@sweethater8558]

Making new things in old styles is just the greatest.

[@shimmeringtrashpile]

ooooh. I love that blue tape on the nut driver to prevent scratching the metal panel at 7:27!

[@BrandonSoum]

Your craftsmanship is impeccable. Watched the whole thing, amazing.

[@oldhick9047]

My folks were antique collectors specializing in Art Deco pieces. Thanks for bringing back good thoughts.

[@Phil_Trujeque]

In order to see the control names in the dark, I would've loved to have seen an LED, backlit, control panel on this... amazing piece of artwork you created there --- so gorgeous! Love me some Deco design!

[@WesleyTreat]

Thanks! I wanted to do backlit labels, but the whole body was really just a vanity project, so I had to draw the line somewhere.

[@knottreel]

It's a sheer pleasure watching you work.

[@aaronmaynard8890]

This video deserves millions of views.

[@hullinstruments]

Man the DIY synthesizer community would eat this up!

[@rossherewini1182]

Excellent editing. Makes such a difference when a video is tightly edited

[@cbauer72]

The crest at the end of the built is amazing. Wow.

[@SteveInPalmSprings]

It's called craftsmanship folks. Just amazing.

[@videogalore]

I trust that you took the rest of the year off after you made this one, it's stunning - really hard to top! I'm so glad that your clients are letting you have free reign on how to interpret their requests!

[@mrm7021]

What a beautiful marriage of different crafts. Thank you for sharing that.

[@user-zq6pj5jo8j]

I love the sand witched Walnut with Aluminum Look. Very cool..!!!

[@Erickchicas]

I love the silence in your videos.

[@haiaokuwa]

I Love Your approach, design aesthetic, and the simplicity of your execution! This is what I’ve been missing! Thank you!!!

[@southtown2366]

I was going to say beautiful! but that would be injustice!!! amazing! Stellar, The word perfection was created prior to this build, but was simply waiting for its actual purpose!!!

[@hankpirelli74]

This is by far the coolest build I have ever seen! You sir, are a true artist!!!

[@jakecarter2414]

That turned out really awesome and vintage man.

[@cvasold]

Functional and beautiful! Few have the talent to combine those two characteristics.

[@PierreaSweedieCat]

Just found your channel. This build was so awesome, I cried. Thanks.

[@lskanon863]

Just Amazing. So talented and dedicated.

[@michael7324]

A friend gave me a control panel he found in an old factory. We have no idea what it was for. However it is cool as hell and has switches and knobs all over it. I think Im going to build a box to attach it to and just hang it on my garage wall. I love that kinda stuff.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Truly a fine piece of period-correct art! Very nicely done indeed.

[@gregclift626]

Artist. Genius.

[@thiamath]

Dude... that piece is awesome

[@Geeksmithing]

Who knew aluminum walnut sandwiches would look so tasty?! Very classy!

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Beautiful project and all hand made. Sweet.

[@1977Timp]

OMG!! I by mistake follow a KZbin suggestion and found you... your work is amazing my compliments!!!!

[@chrispower6472]

Wow really beautiful work! this looks incredible.

[@digitaIgorilla]

Blinking marvelous.

[@UnconventionalMetal]

Man that thing is beautiful!

[@philippe5394]

In French, "C'est de la belle ouvrage!" What a beautifull piece!

[@gu4xinim]

That is absolutely gorgeous. You should be very proud of it, its amazing. Congratulations.

[@alessandrosiccophoto]

This is a work of art.

[@Phil_Trujeque]

The decorative sconce was a gorgeous touch

[@SgtProstar]

you are an artist dude

[@kenl5217]

Beautiful. The wood pieces on the front and back of the Walnut as it goes through the planer are called Wesley Snipes boards

[@WesleyTreat]

That is a terrible joke and I approve.

[@davidpunch7165]

Beautiful workmanship!

[@HacknBuild]

Adding the sheet metal pieces to the cheeks is really a nice detail, especially after adding that brushed texture. Top notch work!

[@TheMakerMonster]

This thing is so much cooler than you described it! So clean! Awesome stuff.

[@h82fail]

Wow the combination of wood and brushed metal sides looks amazing. I'd love to make a custom keyboard that looks something like that.

[@leestuurmans2837]

You've got some lucky clients!

[@michellemcknight4185]

what craftsmanship!

[@mikedelam]

That’s an excellent project, sir

[@MerwinMusic]

That has got to be the best looking control panel ever!

[@davidclark3603]

You’re absolutely brilliant at this! Fascinating!

[@hyperflexharrington5]

What I truly like about your videos is that I can take something from each of them. I would never take on a project of this level with the electrical, but I can still use parts of the info... for something. Very inspiring. I would never do a project like your neon coffee sign, but I would however make a sign, that looks like it once had neon... Had to start sharing these on FB. All the best.

[@WorksbySolo]

Wesley, I’m just catching up on some of your past projects. This one just blows me away! I’d love to see more of your design process.

[@TeachAManToAngle]

You sir, are a complete badass.

[@phil.pinsky]

This is hands down the most impressive maker video I’ve ever seen

[@WesleyTreat]

High praise! Thank you, sir.

[@MathieuB05]

Nice project and amazing craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing

[@ErinIsBlueBlue]

What an incredibly splendid object ! Congratulations !

[@simplemanduke7128]

Beautiful job well executed Sir

[@exhempknight]

Amazing. Love the style! Love that you made something modern, look old... That kinda stuff is right up my alley.

[@PJGalati]

That came out AWESOME! I love that old vintage buttons and knobs type of stuff! I had a fake control panel as a kid that my dad built so I could pilot my own spaceship ;) but making something that actually works is super cool. The style was dead on.

[@neilf4128]

Your pretty brilliant, Enthusiastic, nerdy and wonderful. Thank you for your dedication to excellence.

[@EdGreenberg]

Lots of "methods of work" here to learn from. I wish I had the bending brake and the CNC robot. Good video.

[@brianermelin5658]

I salute you, applaud you, take my hat off for you and bow to you for I am not worthy! That was a privilege to watch very impressive. For a second I thought that the Art Deco piece was too much but given the location I quickly reconsidered. Again very impressive.

[@msmith2961]

Real nice retro chic!

[@chrisconley8105]

What a terrific job. Love the art deco style and you attention to detail. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@torinhalsey6313]

Damn! Impressive piece. Really like the design.

[@mikeleenelson]

Damn. Is there anything you can't do. I love your videos. Top notch. Thanks.

[@Twin_Flyer]

What an awesome build, great attention to detail and that emblem you created for the control board at the end was wonderful, excellent work!

[@ZollyMonsta]

That’s a beauty Wesley!

[@lasvegasira]

Wow. Just, wow.

[@nathanlucas6465]

Absolutely beautiful

[@mattinhessen7148]

Simply beautiful work

[@HomoSapiensMember]

really glad i subscribed early | another channel i can learn lots on arts & crafts from! and so much more! thank you!!! i like your style and taste in deco panel design

[@MrGnidlih]

Really beautiful , love the metal and wood mix, especially walnut.

[@kjamison5951]

Excuse my swearing … that’s freaking awesome! I built a device with a laser diode to simulate De Broglie’s hypothesis on the wave/particle duality of light. I purposely housed it in a wooden casing, stained to look like a nineteenth century laboratory device complete with brass screws.

[@Warpfield]

We used to create the brushed aluminum look using a green scotch-brite scouring pad and some spray metal polish.

[@1845scott]

very nice work totally captures the Art Deco style.

[@curicavericerveceria6695]

I can't believe someone dislike this masterpiece.

[@newtechgs7471]

This is just beautiful

[@bzakie2]

Your engineering skill and your wonderful imagination coupled with great video production values makes these clips so entertaining.

[@Jesters-last-Laugh]

Fascinating to watch. Cool as Frig.

Awesome! You should be proud! Thanks for sharing.

[@bytesizedengineering]

Beautiful job! I love your videos, keep up the great work Wesley!

[@ethanlapenti]

Inspirational at many levels. Thank you.

[@keithfulkerson]

That's some quality old-world craftsmanship right there.

[@mrmiz2547]

nice work. I think I'm going to try and apply this to an desktop arcade build. Thanks for the ideas!

[@idiotluggage]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@saysomestuff]

absolutely stunning piece!

[@bg73]

Pure genius. I wondered where you'd been...

[@oogkauwgum5123]

Man, that is a beautifull piece of work!

[@Dynaco77]

Realy like this control panel.

[@TimoBirnschein]

Amazing work! Wonderful design!

[@PaulDesmondimakewoodthings]

This build is so cool. Makes me wish I had a need for a control panel. Your attention to detail is amazing.

[@sandersgarlinge4140]

Amazing work!!!! Such a satisfying video!!!

Coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Totally diggin' this retro bit. So incredible.
