true true

really is a labour of love

in that case (no pun intended) ima take things slow with the case

I've done vac forming before using the method marshall making a wood mold in school

i intended to make elongated spherical shape but i had to make a lip (according to dt teacher) to join the two halves and it spoilt the effect :roll: looking at l64 shows what he knows

the only thing harder than that is making a good quality good looking frankencase, it takes FOREVER! hours and hours of cutting and bondoing and sanding and all that stuff

I'd say the bottom one is Jeff's. The switch is on the bottom and there's no headphone jack. :wink:

Excellent work, by the way. :D
