[sdiy] tips for wooden frames/cases (monome clone)

[Danjel van Tijn]

So I am about build the wooden case for my arduinome 128 clone. I am
going to get it made by a pro woodshop and need to make them the cad
files.

I had a few questions:

1. The real monomes seem to have mitered corners. How were these made
so they are strong? wooden dowels inside? bracket inside enclosure.

2. Should I use fingerboard or dovetail joints instead? If so should I
draw these in the cad program or can I just specify this to the wood
shop?

3. Should I have the woodshop cut the recess for the panels with a CNC
machine after assembling the frame or should it be designed into the
parts before?

My plan is to have the wood frame and then metal plates on the top and
bottom screwed into it (I have already made these).

Any tips appreciated!


cheers,
Danjel
