bancika, those are bad ass!  Pretty cool off you to supply the layout for your Timmy, too.
Is there a special tool for installing eyelets?

Eyelet staking tool halfway down page. Mount it in a drillpress or use a hammer. (Can always grind your own.)

I really like those eyelet circuits Bancika!
Looks neat and sturdy. For the graphics I would go for something simple and stylish,.because it already looks great from the outside.
Perhaps a brushed aluminium plate with laser etched or punched letters in the middle.

Latest FV-1 experiment, much more interesting on the inside than the outside.

Thanks! Sounds good but we don't have anyone here who can etch metal. Only plastic, wood and such. For some reason they don't do metal. Maybe I could etch transparent acrylic sheet. Etching looks white, should be ok to contrast copper enclosure.

That sounds like it would look very cool - I'd love to see that.

What if you painted the plastic first with opaque paint, etch and then treat it like a light plate with LEDs to illuminate the etched edges of your design?

That sounds like a great idea....

painting is also not an option. I don't have access to painting tools, so I'm stuck with crappy spray paints that chip off way too easily. Here's how clear acrylic looks like when etched

This design is so good - I have to steal it

That is beautiful!

What's in that tone? Just reverb and the box of rock?

EDIT: Just clicked the 'see more' on youtube to find "Gear: Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro - DIY Box Of Rock Clone - Fender Super Champ XD - Shure SM57"

A very nice little setup!

Can I ask what method you used for the jewel light? Seen a few variations on here and thinking of trying it myself

Cheers!

wow, I thought the box was etched, until I read the link you posted.
Great build, and informative article.

Thanks mate!

Thanks! Yeah.. just the Box of Rock and some reverb from the amp. Okay, I did some audio mixing in Reaper and added a hint of compression, mojo and magic etc.  But mainly the tone comes from the guitar-effect-amp -setup.

Well.. I removed the light bulb and the socket (holding the light bulb) from the jewel light and just glued a regular 5mm led bezel inside the jewel light. It actually fits quite nicely and you can set the height of the led bezel by adjusting the nut before gluing.

Cheap and easy way of mounting a jewel light:

I used this: http://www.banzaimusic.com/Jewel-Full-Assembly-Red.html
and a 10mm LED, fixed with hot glue.
