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

Because it's rarely used :P.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

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
