Thanks everyone for your comments and support on this project. I have my sister visiting this week so will get back on it next Wednesday .
I do have a couple questions. What inexpensive soldering station will work well for this kit? I have soldered before so I have the skills but not the equipment to use before retiring. For the brushed aluminum I am looking what most manufactures of separate audio components like Marantz use for their face plates? Do they use a wire wheel or sandpaper and what grit to get that look? I will get to that stage before getting the pieces anodized so just wondering. As soon as I get the 4 plates back from the shop that are drilling all the pilot holes in each one I will know if I did my math correctly. There still is a lot of work to do with the Unibit on the pre-drilled plates before I know the build is going to work and look pleasing when finished. I also have an idea for the colon tubes but have to wait for a reply from some people to see if it will work. And a big thank you for Jeff Walton for getting me a NWTS that he assembled and programmed for me! Thanks Jeff I think I have everything figured out except the color of anodized gold for the two inner plates. I got some samples back but just not the right shade I am looking for. That is it for now. I will post pictures when I get the plates back from the shop and when I start on the clock kit.
