Brilliant - my dad would love this...

Very close to the original, love the dial!

Absolutely spectacular.

The more I see these wooden mods, the more I wish I paid more attention in woodwork in school. This looks absolutely beautiful.

Well Done!

You got me that is totally awesome, no that is amazingly stylish. If you made those, you would sell them.

Seriously nice case mate

REMF 8th February 2010, 15:30

absolutely beautiful.

Very nice workmanship. Just as an idea, the next one you build could intergrate a cpu temperature guage into the dial maybe. You are going to do another case I assume?

Thank you for the kind comments.

I am working on plans for another one right now. I'm trying to figure out how much I can syphon from our income tax refund for this!

The CPU temp is an original idea. The next one however is not going to be a radio looking mod. I am working on something a bit different, albeit again with wood on the outside.

Beautiful case! The more I see retro looking wooden cases the more I want to build one.

Redbeaver 8th February 2010, 19:35

Can't wait to see it's work log. Makes me wish I had more time on my hands to continue my project. *SIGH*

right, that's it, I'm scouring ebay for a radio :p
amazing!

yeah great work, even if its not something I would like myself (matter of taste, really). I enjoy looking at good quality work.

Excellent! Looks like you had a lot of fun building it. Congratz on the Engadget article.

voigts 10th February 2010, 15:10

I appreciate that Jeffrey. I wish I could pick you brain one on one regarding your excellent veneer work on Ingraham. The finish on that case is beautiful.

sHORNY 11th February 2010, 10:49

bloody beautiful work there! hats off to you sir !

MugenUK 12th February 2010, 21:40

looks gorgeous.

A classy build by a classy builder.

Cyberpower-UK 19th February 2010, 13:52

I can't help thinking it looks like a wooden CM Dominator. Like how you doe the radiators, would like to see this done in a production case.

Impressive build.

The woodwork is very good and from the outside looks convincing as a wireless radio.. excellent job.
