Nice! Like the site. And not only do I see you selling plenty of wrests and cases, but I know there are a ton of GHers that may drool over some pen holder action.Thanks :)
You talked me into it. Just got your available tigerwood case. ;D
On mobile and in a foreign country so can't fully appreciate your site but excited to see this happening! May need to see about a wooden case if I ever decide to build a custom 60% :) good luck!

Someone said pen stand. I need one of those.

Not to discourage anyone from picking one up now, but in the coming days I should have a few more examples, and at least one more design. Not to give anything away, but so far I'm pretty pleased with out it is shaping up. :)
Awesome thread and service. Can not wait to see more of your inlay work. So clean.
The experience is worth any amount of heartache. This is a skill you have honed and I'll be rooting for your success this weekend! Ahmrrgrd pictures!Awesome thread and service. Can not wait to see more of your inlay work. So clean.
I hope I don't dissapoint! I have a couple of pretty involved inlay patterns I'm almost finished with. They take some time to setup, but with any luck I'll have something to post up on Monday. I really like to experiment with this stuff. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it is a learning experiance. :)
Well these are awesome. :thumb: I only wish you were making these a few months ago when I splurged on a TEX case for my poker. Oh well, maybe it's time to break the wallet again and get a new keyboard. Do you offer compatibility with 60% keyboards that don't fit the standard 6 screw poker design? Or would that just be done through the "Design studio piece"?
do you take custom orders? Say something like a case for the Smart68?

Thank you!
For the cases, I can mount the screw holes anywhere, those are the last things that go in. I'm working on two right now, one is a V60 Matias style where the mounts are accessible from the bottom up, and also from the top down for universal support. I'm also a two piece case with a top and bottom layer (I haven't started that yet). If it is just a matter of moving the screw mounts then the cost is the same, you could just message me to let me know what you need. I may need the PCB depending on what it is, or at least detailed measurements. Something like a layered case would be a bit more expensive, since it is more material, and more labor. I'm always available over PM to discuss something to make sure you get what you want before placing an order.
Also, I have a few more that I'll be putting up at a discount in the coming days.
do you take custom orders? Say something like a case for the Smart68?
I absolutely take custom requests. Not everything is always possible - I'm constantly surprised at what people ask for, sometimes it is just not feasible with the tools I have or the time it would take. I'm always happy to work with someone to refine a design. :) Usually custom stuff costs a bit more. For a Smart68, I would need an existing case to make sure I get the measurements right. There are a lot of questions with that one...how would the button in the case front work, for instance? I am planning on picking one of those up, so it might be something I will have on hand to test with.
I just got my leopardwood case in the post and I couldn't be happier!These are some great photos! I'm so glad you like the case. :) That leopard wood is pretty hefty. On par, or heavier than an aluminum case of the same size.
I built it up with the Pulse SA keyset.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/rABivKj.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/k7Uv8oT.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/aftcxOp.jpg)
This **** be fire, yo. :D lol Sorry for the potato pics.. This case is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Wish I had a fancier camera to help prove it!

I was emailing with you back and forth for a bit but you stopped returning my emails with no warning. May I ask why?
But are you okay other than down a car?Yeah we all came through okay. Cars these days are made with safety in mind (thank goodness!). Now I just have to deal with the logistics of needing to be one place, while he needs to be another and only having one mode of transportation. The girl that hit us didn't have a license, and probably no insurance, so that makes it a bit harder. We should be able to get a rental, but since they totaled it that is only covered for 3 days by our insurance. 3 DAYS! I can barley clean my living room once every three days, I dunno how I'm supposed to find a car!
Ordered a custom wrist rest from inanis and was not disappointed! Wanted a nice rest to match the hhkb I was going to be getting and she helped me along every step of the way in figuring out what I liked. She even went above and beyond and was messaging me about tracking as she was dealing with her car issues. Can't recommend her enough!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/GhVKFIs.jpg?1)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/bSsBWTg.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/mc5f2wt.jpg)
Update on order status!
I am officially back in the shop as of yesterday. All open orders are currently being made and should be shipped early next week. I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during this whole ordeal. I never thought getting in a car wreck (that was not my fault) could be as frustrating and draining as this was. You all have my gratitude.
Thank you again.
Hey inanis,
I don't need an immediate quote right this moment, but I may be looking for some custom woodwork in the style of a Duck Viper case. Currently, there is an interest check going on for replacement Plate+PCB for Vipers (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74953.0;topicseen), but no case will be offered.
I'm thinking of picking a set of these up and may want a custom case made. If this goes though, I can try to get the layout/schematics for the case profile. I just wanted to know if this was something that could be offered.
Here's what the layout is like. I'm sure we'll have more specifics when they come..Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/0dCR6Fv.jpg)

Is something like the Datamancer Poker case possible?This is another one of those styles that I could do if there was interest from several people. It would be fairly expensive compared to the other cases i currently produce since it is essentially two full cases.

I'm ordering a pen holder as soon as CPT stealz me 3 pens.

How expensive is "expensive"? I wouldn't mind coughing up the dough if it were made by you. Datamancer recently sold his on Md for $130, and he plans on listing them on is site for around $170. :eek:
absyrd wants pens? More stuff to toss in the package!
I think I am going to need a case for my JD45!

Essentially, that would be the price. Though, I'd probably list it at $150 or $160. Depends on the type of wood though. Unlike datamancer I don't typically deal in Oak, I personally find it unappealing. I can do oak if requested though.
I think I am going to need a case for my JD45!
I have been meaning to make one for my JD40 as well. :thumb:
I got a purpleheart pen holder, too. Purty.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/OAzXg1w.jpg)
Mine is just a stupid iphone pic. But all I have is white furniture and tons of light.
I know quite a few people have been getting stuff from you, and I really encourage them to share pics in here. PLZ THX.
Glad you and CPT liked them! That purpleheart had a ton of curl in it, which is not the norm. It straight up glitters in sunlight.
I have some new stuff I'll be posting soon. I've completed some high profile cases in black walnut and some beveled low profile cases as well. I also have a few custom orders that I'll post pics of. I always like those those custom ones. I need to improve my photography skillz cause you guys always blow me out of the water in that department.
The weird thing about the Viper/HHKB design is that there's nothing like that anywhere, and no one seems to be able/willing to make them. Everyone says it's too expensive or hard but never actually provide a quote. Sad, really, since I'm a big fan of the HHKB layout :(Hey inanis,

I've been asked about this style case a few times. I don't currently make one, but that doesn't mean I can't. The trouble is that I would need to have commitment from a few people in order to make something like this, and I would need a sample PCB/Plate to make sure I get the fit correct - I don't need to keep the PCB and Plate, just use it to check the fit.
I don't use a CNC for my cases, but instead a series of jigs which I use with a router to get the desired shape. I would need to setup a new jig for something like this, and I would only go through that effort if it was something a few people would be interested in. If I had a CNC it would be a bit different, but sadly, I do not just yet.
I know that is not a terribly straight forward answer, but if there is interest I would be happy to provide some quotes and what I have for wood varieties and we can go from there.
Thank you for thinking of me!

I'd get one if it was compatible with the Alps Party HHKB setup, guaranteed :thumb: (EDIT: the bottom one in that picture. )
EDIT: you are very likely to get a good interest in this because I have searched so much and there's nothing like it. The timing is perfect, Alps Party parts are coming up soon and there's this interest check for the Viper with no case.

Wait till you see yours! It is so close to done, I put a coat of finish on it last night, and I'm really happy with how it looks. I just hope you are too. :)
I can't wait! I'm sure it'll be amazing.
Yes, you are right about the viper, as it can be seen in this picture (http://i.imgur.com/2xHmKqA.jpg) it has a nice plate + PCB in the "correct" format, while the Alps Party GB has a standard 60% size unfortunately.A true HHKB is a whole different ballgame. Those have an integrated plate with the case. At a bare minimum you need a CNC for that. There is a reason those are so hard to produce. I'd love to try my hand at it when I do have a CNC, but I'm not sure how well it would hold up.
It would still be interesting for me if it supported the HHKB itself, even if it meant not having USB hub thought I can't promise to commit to that one right now.
inanis, you could always route a 60% case like this:yes, this is what I was referring to earlier, and what would be the 90-100 range - and, incidentally, also what I want to make for myself. :) However, the ALPS party stuff, I don't know if the corners could just be cut to fit this, and if they can't then two piece is the only way to go (I think anyway, please correct me!). If they can be cut to fit a one piece Viper case, then that is a whole different story. I'd setup an IC in a heartbeat. Perhaps I can ask that question in the GB thread.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/0LR1YRP.jpg)
It would require that the PCB be cut to fit those corners. The JD45 PCB has that ability, because the traces are dead ends to those switches in the corners, and there are no other traces there. I can't say for sure whether that is the case with any existing 60% PCB, though.

Dang inanis! That is just too good. I can't wait to save up enough for one of these things, just have to get through the holidays :thumb:
I will probably have you do one without any mounting holes so that I can get the V60 in there.

I should be able do Matias V60 mounting from the bottom. I'd just need to know where the mount points are. I should have paid more attention when I had that board! Unless you prefer to do it yourself. You are very handy. :)

Hey there!
What would a full size wrist rest cost with a red logo inlay thing (if possible).
Something like this:Show Image(http://emblemsbf.com/img/2648.jpg)
Hey there!The tricky part about this design is that I couldn't do it the way I normally do. I typically have inlay completely through the piece, not just a veneer on top. This would have to be a veneer, otherwise it would be out of control expensive. I would have to experiment more with something like that before I could say with confidence I could get it looking they way I would feel comfortable with. Alternatively, once I get a CNC something like this should be much easier - I'm hoping that is Soontm. I'd don't want to take a guess on a price without knowing for sure how much would be involved, but you can check my site to get an idea of what the non custom rests are priced at normally.

60% cases up on Massdrop!It's true! I have a drop up on MD. I am doing all the order fulfillment myself to keep the cost to everyone as low as possible. I have Tigerwood as an option up here, which has not previously been available. It happens to be my favorite, so I hope others like it too.

So...I told this to absyrd, but I didn't post it here. I've made 2 vape stands thus far. The first one was a complete fail - which is totally normal for me on the first try. :)) The wood I had was far to thick and it came out looking like a long, weird sandwich. The second one came out bang on perfect. I was so excited. Things fit well, the wood was great. All was right in the world....and then I realized I made it so that the tank would be upside down. Much embarrassment ensued. So now I'm working on a third version, in the same style as my second version, but so that the tank is actually upright.Lemme beta test vape stand. :p

Either works for me, just let me know when you're done with the tank and stuff and I'll send you my MA addy :)

Super excited for these, right now my tanks and bottles are just a mess everywhere.I have this grand idea to make like an elaborate stand to hold the bottles and the tanks. But It'll take me time to get there. I'm glad people are excited for it though. At least I know it is something worth doing. :)
