Thoughts of a challenge - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

CanadianScroller · 05-26-2008, 01:14 PM

I know all of us hear have computers and scrollsaws. I have been looking online at some interesting woodwork where people made their own computer cases.
I wonder if anyone is up to the challenge of either making their own case or a skin to cover their case.

They don't have to be extreme, but here is one someone carved

I can see all kinds of possibilities from fretwork to intarsia?

Anyone up for a challenge?

I fear I just don't love my computer enough to spend that much time dressing it up!!! LOL!!

WHY?

Have to agree with Neal and Carter. I like my computer but I sure don't love it.

Perhaps I wouldn't want my computer to be embellished like that, but can you imagine how an accordian or a keyboard could look? I've always wanted to build an accordian from scratch.

It is a great looking work but imagine trying to lug that through an airport.

Thats a great looking piece of work but I agree with most everyone else. Why?!!

My computer tower is shoved under my desk mostly to try and hide the ugly mess of cables coming out of it.
