Maple iPhone Case

Project by Dan Lyke posted 69 days ago 670 views 1 time favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Just playing in the shop, learning how to do various cuts. The inside is routed out with a straight bit, the curved bits on the inside put in with a bullnose. Everything else is cut with a hand saw and a chisel, technique I clearly need to work on.

I built one out of mahogany, which doesn’t have enough cross-grain strength for this, and I’ve got another one in the shop in progress out of purpleheart, but I think this one will work for a while.

Hopefully fixed the pictures

Whoah? What happened? Those pictures looked nice and sharp and clear on my machine!

Sorry, folks, I’ll get ‘em on my own site in a bit and link to them.

That’s a cool idea, anyhow. I hope my wife doesn’t see it.
