Secondly it'll have to be pretty thin, like 3 or 4 mils max, so that the jog wheels, knobs etc etc can still connect to their places on the motherboard. wont be very hard wearing. Think i'd still rather stick to metal to be honest.

it will be pretty damn difficult to get the top plate done by hand. Not impossible, with a router, and accurate diagram, and a dremel. also... It can be at least an 1/8th in thickness, as that is the thickness of the aluminum, perhaps a bit thicker, and def thicker in the parts without holes. Like I said, something finished with spar varnish, or even polyurethane, would make a near indestructible finish. Nitro (my finish of choice) would not hold up to the job. But I have access to a wood cnc at school... so I might try and do it there.

If you finish it with spar varnish, or another high durabililty finish, it should be perfectly durable. I mean, electric guitars are finished with lacquer (which isnt too durable), and people have been gigging with those for like, 60 years now. I actually believe I might undertake this project at some point (should probably focus on trying to actually get gigs first huh....). I've built a number of electric guitars from the ground up, as well as a couple ukuleles. This would be a fun project.

Well... I would love to do a metal encasing for my BCR2000 once... though I doubt that will ever take place.

yeah it would have to take a fair bit of punishment. would have some weight to it as well. a real design project for someone.

Things is, I doubt it will have the durability of the metal encasing.

there's a few different ways you could go about it. You could make something like a modular box with say 5mm MDF board, or a cooler but less precise way would be to have two halfs routed out at a joiners and fit together like a walnut shell.

yeah Id like to see this project in effect!

Well, I know there have been some guys that wanted to start a similar project. Unfortunately it never started.

So, I am looking forward to the finished project bro'!
