Lost art

I know this isn't anything in terms of a real topic. Just stumbled upon something I was working on in the woodshop before I got my unit.http://i.imgur.com/nNybD.jpg

Pretty.


Is this real-size ?

You could try to make a wooden case for your Pandora

Wow, if this is to scale, then you've got parts of a replacement case in the workings!

 

[FaeMinx]

How did you do this? Those nubs even have the little rings in them... lasercut?

 

[banjeed]

It's to scale. Some might remember a time a while back ED posted a stripped down version of the cad file used to make the pandora. It was promptly taken down, but a few of us grabbed it. I loaded it into a Carvewright machine (computer controlled drill) and let it work. Those machines either work really well or suck to hell. Every 5 or so cuts, the machine breaks and this happened to be that one. You'll notice it didn't make it all the way to the right. I was just cleaning up in the woodshop and found this in some scrap.

Oh, wow, it's gorgeous.


And for some reason, I can't help but imagine how good a Raspberry Pi case cut on one of those machines would look, now...

Looking very good so far. Can't wait to see the finished thing

Make a real case with the CAD files you've got!
