Anybody knows of a good place to get a metal box with a blank face for a control panel development. Even better a place that will cut a custom face plate to my design???? Thanks

I have not used this item but have at one time contemplated putting one on my control panel. Here's a link to the timer I was thinking about getting: http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-4-Red...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a59259489

So far all I use is a 1 hr cooking timer. I suppose it depends on how much bling you want.

I looked at that as well but come to find out this is just a display and not the inner workings to act as a timing unit. So you have to purchase a separate unit to run it.

Wow, that is nice. Would you mind sharing the cost for the front panel?

Thanks!

$150.00

Nice .

Awesome. $150 isn't bad for the level of bling.

The software you download to design it is so user friendly, it was a peice of cake to make and you can make it as custom as you want. Very cool!!!!!!

I'm normally not a bling guy, but that's freakin cool.

I used them as well, couldn't be happier with their work.

Very Nice

installed all guages, wired, placed the conrol pannel today!!!!

Shawn,

I know that your timer is the Auber Model: ASL-51. It took me a while but was able to find the temperature displays - Love TID-1110.

After much digging I'm still trying to find the make/model of the "Count Down Timer". Please post the info, it would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I just finished reading your threads on the build. I think you have done a beautiful job on the whole thing. It's looking really great.

Thanks.

Hope this helps, thanks for your comments!!!

the count down time also has a loud beep sequence when completed as well. Very nice and cheep to.

Shawn,

Thanks very much for the info. The count down timer is well hidden when trying to navigate to it. It looks like a very neat device and will suit me well. Thanks for the find.
