Love the intricate design idea of the fretwork.
I've admired your woodworking skills and appreciate what you bring to XS...elegance, simplicity and sleekness.

But I would have lurked/followed wherever you posted.
Looking forward to your progression.

I appreciate your feedback and encouragement.

gotta be a good craftman to do that... but it does look good!!
will follow your work closely

thanks. I'm not sure about me being a good craftsman, but I am perfectionistic and persistent!

Ahhh ... just woke up from my nap and this is what I see - this looks like it's going to be amazing.

So = 3 x 220 rads? Interesting design for the airflow on the top.

What tool(s) do you use to cut out the intricate designs on the front and side?

yes, 3x220 rads. This allowed for a smaller case than using 2x320 rads. 2 of them have their airflow isolated from the case interior, while the top rad exhausts out of the case.

As for the designs, I plan on using my new-to-me scrollsaw that I bought from a friend at work.



The fretwork is going to take a lot of work to do. I am going to try to cut the top and front at the same time one on top of the other as they have the same design. I still have to work out how I'm going to go about curving the front piece. I'm thinking I'm just going to use a belt sander and router and sand it down like I need it to be. It's going to be a bit tricky though.
