I know nothing about metalworking apart from putting holes in front and back panels using chassis punches and using a jigsaw to hack a square panel for a VU meter..
So I don;t want to use an existing mic body but make one from scratch.
Is this a good starting point... from this UK supplier (I have bought odds and ends from them before)
