My dad is a professional sculptor dude, wire me 5000 euros and i'll hook u up.
hm...5000€ dunno why but this doesn´t to atractive to me ;)?my mate will get a good bottle of whisky if this works out.
Well, I know there have been some guys that wanted to start a similar project. Unfortunately it never started.
So, I am looking forward to the finished project bro'! :D
yeah Id like to see this project in effect!
there's a few different ways you could go about it. You could make something like a modular box with say 5mm MDF board, or a cooler but less precise way would be to have two halfs routed out at a joiners and fit together like a walnut shell.
Things is, I doubt it will have the durability of the metal encasing.
yeah it would have to take a fair bit of punishment. would have some weight to it as well. a real design project for someone.
Well... I would love to do a metal encasing for my BCR2000 once... though I doubt that will ever take place. :D
Now let's get back to that wooden VCI project of e_p. ;)
If you finish it with spar varnish, or another high durabililty finish, it should be perfectly durable. I mean, electric guitars are finished with lacquer (which isnt too durable), and people have been gigging with those for like, 60 years now. I actually think I might undertake this project at some point (should probably focus on trying to actually get gigs first huh....). I've built a number of electric guitars from the ground up, as well as a couple ukuleles. This would be a fun project.

haha i wrote craving? nice one! carving is the word of the hour ;)
hey
While this is an interesting project I suppose, I think the top/face plate is gonna be a huge problem.
Firstly it will pretty much HAVE to be CNC'd to get all the holes and gaps in the correct places, no one could do all that accurately by hand, and i'm fairly experienced with woodwork.
Secondly it'll have to be pretty thin, like 3 or 4 mils max, so that the jog wheels, knobs etc etc can still connect to their places on the motherboard. wont be very hard wearing. Think i'd still rather stick to metal to be honest.
k
it will be pretty damn difficult to get the top plate done by hand. Not impossible, with a router, and accurate diagram, and a dremel. also... It can be at least an 1/8th in thickness, as that is the thickness of the aluminum, perhaps a bit thicker, and def thicker in the parts without holes. Like I said, something finished with spar varnish, or even polyurethane, would make a near indestructible finish. Nitro (my finish of choice) would not hold up to the job. But I have access to a wood cnc at school... so I might try and do it there.Quote:
