Originally, we had intended to countersink the back using a square-end=20
milling cutter.  The nuts/washers on the front would be on the actual=20
front face. However, the 0.080" remaining thickness worries me.  It's=20
for a trade-show display and needs to be strong.  We'll be laying=20
adhesive vinyl over the top, so any brackets etc need to be hidden under=20
the knob, else the height differences would be visible under the vinyl. =20
And we want to use small-diameter knobs.

I like the idea of sheet metal, but on the *back* of the wood, assuming=20
I can find pots with longer shafts.  If that's what you meant, then=20
thank you.  If not, then thank me :)

Cheers,
-Neil.
