By Hand?!
Moderator:Moderators
I was wondering what you guys think about how he made that sweet case by hand? I am guessing he used a standard router table. maybe a jigsaw and a steady hand. I thought about doing my case like this, but I havent had the time or money to follow through with it...

i think i know how he did this....he MAY have cut the base shapes for the top and bottom, then cut a loooong strip of plexiglass and screwed or glued it to the top and the bottom....then using a heatgun he heated the plexi so that it would flex easily, then just bend the whole thing around the base shapes (top and bottom...) and screw it down and let it coolGeebs61 wrote:I was wondering what you guys think about how he made that sweet case by hand?

i was gonna use that on a portable i WAS working on...but it wasn't that easy to do with just a candle
Well dont know about you but if you look close at some of the pictures you can see the edge isnt purfect. My guess is he uses a band/scroll/saber/jig saw to cut the face out, you cant have jagged edges like that after using a router (burned, pits or indents).
I'm really interested in what he made the case out of. It may make me change my plans for my PSp.

well since i dont have a dremal i kind of have to do any of my cuts by hand i use a old pocket knife a stake knife and a sharpened peace of stanless steal from a sp case.. and so far the best has been the stake knife its perfect for holes for new buttons, and some times is ok for cutting through thin plastic parts like a saw.
i think he just cut the sheats and like buddy said heat gunned the side parts. then use a table saw router or dremel to put in button and screw holes. makes sense to me, and he would not have to make those daring trips in to the work shop
