I like that side profile. Always neat seeing wooden cases.

Thats pretty awesome! Can't wait to see the finished project.

Did you make sure to cut a hole for the dip switches and USB port?

mrbishop · « **Reply #3 on:** Tue, 03 November 2015, 13:40:09 »

Kinda on the fly with this one. Still figuring out where to put the electronics. But I'll find a spot;)

What kind of wood is that? It looks fantastic.

mrbishop · « **Reply #5 on:** Tue, 03 November 2015, 13:41:31 »

Poplar and pine. With a light stain and polyurethane

A slab of wood, a cutter and a bit of stain - such a simple design yet so pretty, and I bet it's as solid as any steel plated board. Probably quieter too! Do you have some caps lined up for it?

Oh wow, this is really beautiful! I'm glad you have an addiction, it's creating some awesome products!

I'll be very interested to see how typing sounds with that wood plate and case.

Looking good!

I was just talking about trying an all-wood plate with resin-stabilized wood, but it looks like you got around the stiffness issue with just using a much thicker plate.

I am very jealous of your addiction and hope to one day be able to join you

mrbishop · « **Reply #10 on:** Wed, 04 November 2015, 13:49:11 »

Well not to promote but I'm hoping to finalize a design I can market. It's a lot of R&D going on at the moment

This is so sick, it gives me ideas for all the 40%s I need to build.

mrbishop · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 04 November 2015, 14:09:32 »

Kinda like this little guy

I'm also working on a cover design to protect the keys similar to the one datamancer did for the poker case that was on Massdrop.com

Love the one piece look. How thick is the plate section?

mrbishop · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 04 November 2015, 14:52:30 »

5mm I think.

Cool, thanks! I'm always curious as I'm thinking of making something similar and yours is a nice inspiration.

mrbishop · « **Reply #16 on:** Wed, 04 November 2015, 19:32:23 »

No problem I'm glad I could help

Bucake · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 05 November 2015, 00:18:31 »

damnnn, jealous. looks very pretty, that!

mrbishop · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 07 November 2015, 17:06:31 »

Thanks

hashbaz · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 07 November 2015, 17:08:25 »

Very nice work. I love one-off boards like this.

Pemdas · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 07 November 2015, 19:36:53 »

That looks really great! What kind of wood did you use for it?

mrbishop · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 07 November 2015, 19:41:24 »

Poplar as a test. I want to do one in aromatic cedar

mrbishop · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 09 November 2015, 10:31:36 »

Thanks again everyone for the kind words. I will hopefully get off my but and finish this build this week.

mrbishop · « **Reply #23 on:** Tue, 08 December 2015, 22:09:29 »

Newest project.

Charger · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 08 December 2015, 22:47:01 »

Looks nice I really like the idea of using all wood like that.

that reminds me I really need to buy a trim router to try to rig up on my diy cnc plasma cutter. Any recommendations on trim routers? I was thinking a Makita but I'm assuming you are using a dewalt because its on an inventables machine which tends to have dewalt router mounts available from what I have seen.

mrbishop · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 08 December 2015, 22:48:38 »

I'm using the makita. I designed and had machined a mount for it it's a 701c

That is what I have been thinking about picking up. How is it working for you?

working great. hogs through stuff like a beast. you'll need a custom mount for it. I'm using one i designed and a buddy sells. if you want one i can get you his info.

Good to hear. I think I will just make the mount myself on my manual mill it shouldn't be that hard to make.

Looks even better stained black
