Well, I had this crazy thought of drilling some holes above them in the front cover and using them for a power on indicator. The mini-candelabra sockets and the lamps would cost more than the R's, but there would be a certain artistic "panache" to it, reminding me it hasn't been powered down when I turn off the lights for the night as I always look back to see what else besides the computer & monitor is on. A mental checklist as it were. Busy making the breadboard end keys, which at the feed rates I can use, takes about 20 minutes a key, and needs my presence for a couple minutes as the end of each is approached to make sure the cutoffs don't get tangled up & wreck a key. So thats about an hours runtime to do them 3 up in the width of ebony I have. And I'm digging the slots with wood chisels as I don't have a 1/4" slot cutter. Or a guide and stop for it. I'd dig them with a router, but it would take longer to make a guide shoe for the router than it takes to dig them by hand. The downside of course is edge damage from the chisels. One lid has them fitted & glued as of lights out this evening. I can remove it from the jig & do the next lid tomorrow while 6 more keys are being cut. Need 4 more, but the roundover has already created one scrap to save for pen making or whatever. Thanks Andy.
