Yes please do the blog. I'd be really interested.Thanks for the link, Charlie.
Alex's wood work is the best I've ever seen, making stabwood for Dani Mini and Pico requires a very careful hand. I have never disassembled a Dani Mini, but I have disassembled a Pico, and there are small margins on it.
I'm not good at soldering myself, but in the worst case I can go to someone who does it daily.
And as long as it is stabwood, it is possible to use the holes for the soldering as a way to screw the board to the stabwood.
Unfortunately, I myself will use tactile switches so soldering is necessary.
Apart from stabwood, I bought from a Norwegian store Bossard screws, a whole bunch of M2 M2.5 M3 in different lengths, and Panasonic tactile switches in different sizes, 6.5x6, 4.9x4.9, 4.7x3.5, 3.5x2.9 .
I have no idea if I can use the switches in practice but they were quite cheap.
What I have left to buy are acrylic rods to build frames, and I need different inserts. Alternatively with the frames is to get them 3D printed.
The day when everything is here and I get started I thought of making a blog.
It's certainly not easy getting the tolerances correctly cut to make the mod look more than functional but the thought of having something truly unique is very appealing...
Let me know how you get on
