So much sanding…. So much polishing…
I realized that I had forgotten to cut the hole for the power-switch…. Hahahaha, that woulda been funny if I had made the entire case, went to install the power switch and discovered no mounting hole.

Close-up:
Here is an image of the bezel/fascia/thingy that shows the progression of polishing. On the left is a sanded (320 grit) edge, on the right is the router cut. You can see that there are what appears to be “ribs”. These were created because the initial sanding was not done properly (read: smoothly). When polished, each of these ribs shows clearly and looks like ca-ca.
So far I have about 12 hours into this piece, and have another 6 to go. What is taking so darn long?!?!? Well…. each little crevice, nook, nick, saw mark and perturbation will be readily visible when polished; they must be removed.
Here is a shot of the partially done thingy:

And here are the pieces that I have already completed.
Whew! After all that work it is time for a snack…Yay!
…then back to the grindstone.
