Though I have a doubt regarding its usability. Acrylic could be critically brittle especially where the lugs enter the case. But it can be a piece for a collection, of course.
Nonetheless, builder's skills are from another universe and time, and again - amazing result!
I totally agree i wish the case was made of polycarbonate instead of acrylic.
Thanks for the thumbs up it was a fun build
Would it be possible to do a v2 in polycarbonate?

A case builder would have to step in here me making them on conventional machines would be to time consuming.

The case is actually a small production that Oyang had made several years ago. It’s made of the acrylic resin known as Lucite.

I loved it because Lucite is such a common component in mid century furniture.
