Hello Geekhackers!
« on: Thu, 10 December 2015, 01:10:29 »
Hi there geekhack, I guess my account is not very new, but for the most part I have mostly been lurking and never got used to the forum layout and the community until recently. I live in British Columbia, Canada and am in university for computer sciences, been following mechanical keyboards since 2013 and am a big fan of electronics in general along with machining, I have done a lot of woodworking and have quite a bit of experience CNC'ing so hopefully I can do some exciting projects in the future.  :thumb:  Excited to start becoming a more active member and help contribute to the great community here!

Welcome to Geekhack!

There's quite a few artists here who work with wood, and they have produced some fantastic things!

Have a browse through making stuff together to find some of their threads.

Have you got any plans on something keyboard-related to make?  Or did you just join for the keyboard aspects?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I've joined for mostly the keyboard related part, but I haven't seen too many wooden cases that I liked the look of and have been trying to get access to the CNC's at my university in hopes of trying some stuff out :)

Good luck with that!

Make as many plans as you can before you get access - you might be able to discard some of the less feasible ones and concentrate on the more likely ones when you do get access to the machine.
