The next step was to map out and cut the access hole in the cover for the switches.
Working out the dimensions.
Roughing it out.
Final shape cut with the router.
All done and buttoned down. I decided to leave the clear acrylic as is so that the switches are easier to see in low light rather than just relying on feel.
The switch tips are inset far enough that they won't be tripped accidentally, yet are still easily accessible.
