Wooden cases

I don't know if I'd use a case made out of wood, but I think that it would be pretty cool.

I think that I might make one out of wood because it's easier to work with than engraving plastic. Plus, it will give it a unique appearance.

What I was thinking is using a strong wood, like oak or something, and then using a router and then sanding down the rough edges. Then I would stain it to prevent any wood dust from getting onto the circuit boards (I don't know how much it would harm it, but I imagine it wouldn't be good at all).

Would there be anything wrong with it? If there was a spark, would it catch the stained wood on fire?

If I made it out of wood, I would probably make wooden buttons also.

Just clearcoat the inside to make sure it deosn't have any wood chips or dust.

Okay, cool.

Has anyone seen a portable made out of wood?

Besides Ben's VCSp Rev. 6 with oak casing, I believe cennar's making the case for his portable* out of wood

* not really sure now by the size of it if it should be called portable

There's been others, I've seen them before. I'm too lazy right now to look for them, but I know that one was a SNESp.

I really like that wooden PSp. It looks like a homemade sauna.

Someone made a portable 2600 out of wood. It was quite small, too. I can't remember who it was, but I think he's a regular.

Ah yes. That's right. And the correct spelling is "Foo'."

I pity the foo' that can't remember who made the wooden 2600 portable!

Actually, it's foo'. The apostrophe takes the place of the "l".

Just a correction. The SNESp is not wood. It's a plastic drawer with a clipboard for the front. Not wood.
