🍊 orange update 🍊
Next I was working on the top portion of the unit to make sure it is soundproofed and looks tidy.
I got some thin (few mm) heatproof rubber material to cover the top of the walls all the way round the unit.
I messed up a few times and had to buy more and redo it but I got it done nicely in the end.
The white bits are metal sheets which have a protective film over it. Going to get artwork done on it so it needs to be scratch free until I do that. The metal sheets help block the sound.
The small metal strip that secures the LED wires are now hidden under the rubber.
I cut a few symmetrical notches in the rubber so it is easy to get the big metal sheets out. It's a tight fit so the small notches are needed.

Previously, I carved out some gaps in the upper section of the unit to make way for the LED light wiring.
What I did next to finish it off:
1) Taped off the outer areas to keep everything clean and focused.
2) Added some wood filler to the the chipped areas, waited for it to dry.
3) Sanded it all down so it was smooth.
4) Wiped it all clean so there is no residue left.
5) Applied 3 coats of black paint, waited some time between each coat.
6) Squeezed in the wiring into the gap making sure not to damage anything and secured it with a metal sheet and screws.
The design makes it easy to replace anything if that needs to be done. All the wiring is right at the top of the unit for easy access.
