Author: makieks
Used time: about 30 hours including designing

Categories: Full case | Cooling | Handicrafts

I started the project in spring 2010 when I started to plan the case with Google SketchUp

See the video!



Case did get some changes during the manufacturing and it is slightly different to the video of course

Here is the case as I tested the dovetale fittings.

Here the case is upside down to see the bottom venier to fit in the groove.

In this phase the fittings looks pretty loose. The wood is 15mm thick and the venier is aprox. 6mm thick.

Here is the top cover slide groove and the profile of the cover. It looks neet in the ready case but its slightly difficult to open the case otherways than on the tapple or on the floor as the top slides open from front to back.

Here the top slides in from the back

This picture gives a good look of the dovetales

Lets move on to the next page to see some carving.
