DIY enclosures
DIY enclosures Posted on: 27.07.2010 by Trenton Salminen i am getting very interested in a wide variety of music oriented electronics projects (i.e. monome, midibox). my one issue in costs is the high cost of enclosures and panels (having them engraved). So, i was wondering if there are any effective DIY solutions to creating enclosures and panels for such projects cause it would be badass to put a midibox SID in an NES case thanks | |

| Shantae Mettle 01.08.2010 | timber end cheeks and simple cut and bent aluminium sheets metal for the casing, for the instant vintage analogue look. |

| Susann Blachford 30.07.2010 | Pretty much any old trim router will do, just make sure it has the ability to run along a straight edge or use a guide. Some way to keep you on course and away from your fingers. |

| Trenton Salminen 28.07.2010 | any specific router reccommendations? |
| Susann Blachford 27.07.2010 | Buy a trim router for cheap (as low as $15 sometimes on ebay) draw out your enclosure real accurately on your chosen material or enclosure (wood is easiest) make sure it is clamped down safely and securely With the help of guides and straight edges carefully route out the holes you require Alternatively, first make a guide out of a scrap piece of wood, then clap this onto your enclosure/material then just follow the guide with the router. make sure you are comfortable using power tools/loud machinery before attempting this! It'll take longer and maybe not look as good depending on your skills, but its definitely cheaper than custom ordering. |
