I guess its my turn for shameless advertising....

make it and submit it in the competition!!!! laugh

....now back to your regularly scheduled broadcast


Whitlock, how much can you bend the wood? Im not considering a mod with wood, but Ive never seen it done. Does it hold its shape afterward? How long do you have to let it dry? Does it need to be heated? ETC ETC.

It compleatly depends on what kind of wood, and its thickness, the thicker the wood the harder to bend (duh). but if you have paper thin Walnut for example you can almost fold it when it is wet/steemed (steeming works better in my opinion but that might just be me) yet 1 inch walnut can barely bend 90° so it all depends... if you steem it it drys quickly, but if you get it wet it is slower and can come out of shape less obviously until it is too late.

well, nothing sharper than 30 degrees, or when the wood starts to dry it may crack. though that may be pushing it, thought that will give the biggest ipod curve for you. for the wood itself, have you thought about what you are going to use to bond?

1/8" to 1/4" wood is what i would imagine as the proper thickness to do what you need to , if i was to take an educated guess. it seems like it would be sturdy enough.

CNC is a router machine that will etc and cut things from a computer drawing.
Basically like a laser cutter.

CNC milling is done by computer. If you've seen any of the bike shows on TV, they do it all the time with the bike wheels. Stick in a chunk of something, computer cuts it out. Of course, they have ones specific to the type of material being used (wood, metal, type of metal, plastic, etc.).
