What type of wood is that? Are you worried that it won't be strong enough to support the weight?
It's not balsa. More than likely, it's something like basswood. If constructed properly, it will have no problem handling the weight.Looks like Balsa wood. I really like this too. I'm going to subscribe. Are use using a scroll saw or is it done by hand?
Cast aluminum. I was thinking the same exact thing! That would be sweet.I'm guessing the pegs are where the cover will attach, correct? You're going to have a mold made and cast it in aluminum? That would be ridiculously awesome
Damn you... I got some serious idea's stirring right now, and the wife is already tired of all this computer stuff.
OH! The eleven looks like a full size case. It's great work!
Oh I want to create a mATX build out of wood, but I lack the awesome tools needed like a band saw and scroll saw. If you are not using these tools, how the hell are you making these cuts? I know they don't make a mini-wood saw for the dremel!
Reminds me of my days making models in architecture studio. It's was very similar to this. Making intricate models from basswood using Xacto blades and Elmer's/Titebond. It takes FOREVER, but the time invested shows in the results.I cut everything by hand using an X-acto razer saw. This is not a recommended method for people who value their time.

You're absolutely correct. It's nothing to spend $100-200 per model, just on wood. It's crazy. Have you located a foundry yet? How long will the mold/cast process take?I get my basswood and some of my plywood from a place in Gainesville, Florida that caters mainly to architectural students at the University of Florida. It's big business apparently.
Carbon fiber might be techie but I'll never consider it classy. Looks like soul-less plastic to me. Thanks for the suggestion.Thought about using real carbon fiber yet? Classy and Techie

Sorry but I don't use stains. I prefer the real thing. There is really no reason to save money that way when working at such a small scale. Yes...I am a wood snob.Yes cabron fiber isn't classy, A nice stain would be.
I wonder where I can find basswood here in Wichita.
