Hey everyone, thanks very much for your comments and support. I am glad this case is finally done and I am also glad it turned out so well. I recently just redid all of the acrylic in Sangaku so eventually (not very soon I'm afraid) I will have pictures of that too. It also got upgrades by Intel, BFG Tech, and Corsair once again to bring it up to speed.
I also have some other smaller projects brewing that I can tell you guys about later :D .
Truly outstanding. The attention to detail and the theme notwithstanding, the fact that you have a tool-less wooden case over a truly well designed aluminum one just wows the crap out of me. I know your art is based in wood/furniture design, but still - very, very nice.
Fantastic work Nick, and congratulations on the re-appearance on the first page.
I would have wanted to see a bit more pictures of the finished thing, but I'll settle for these :)
Any thoughts on where to go from here, like I foretold at some point, you should do a full aluminum case next, lol.
Well you're going to be updating Sangaku and then those "smaller projects", which I'm really interested in seeing what they are. Hopefully we'll also see a brand new project from you some of these days.
Greensabbath how long have you been woodworking??? do you have a nice shop??? I have taken a few woodshop classes and I would say I'm pretty good but not even near your level. you are my wood god.
Ultra sweet case, I love the koa wood. Not to steal your thunder but take a look at my custom clock I made a few months back.
One thing I think that makes the case so wonderful is that rather than having a base 'futuristic' theme (about as wide open as they get) it has a unique design aesthetic that is normally associated with fine craftsmanship and quality than mass production and technology.
also yuugou can be seen as meaning a blending of old and new. woodworking is one of man's basic skills, computers are still extremely new.

Interestingly enough though, I rebuilt all of Sangaku's acrylic in about 16 hours or so which was blazingly fast compared to the first time.
I'll get a few more interior shots up for you guys. Here is one right now. Enjoy
Wouldn't steam be the normal choice?
What happens when you heat up water? ;) The microwave created a mini steamer
Thank you

Amazing case.
Nice work.
I can't believe you put aluminum through a router.
But I hope that you still like wood... :)
I've been following this one since the start and all I can say is: 10/10 for the whole thing. 'Nuff said.
The koa looks really awesome, I can see why it's that expensive.
