SWR Meter (11): Sheet metal box progress

 Continuing frorm SWR Meter (9)   we have built the first prototype of a sheet metal box for the SWR meter.  The box is made from 22 ga weldable steel for the bottom and 26 ga weldable steel for the top. Note that the holes have been drill for attaching the top to the bottom, The row of holes along the top are for fastening the top to the internal dividers. The inside dimension of the top is about 1 mm too wide.  That's not bad but we still need to work on making predictable bends.
