Step 10Building the case: wooden body
The case is build out of multiple layers of 18mm MDF and a 12mm layer of MDF for the front.
The layers where CNC-milled into their shape, but not entirely cut out (about 1mm remained). This way they were stronger and easier to glue and clamp. Three holes were milled through the plates to serve as guides: I could add dowels to make positioning the layes on top of each other easier.
When everything was dry the layers where cut out with a sharp knife and the front layer was glued on. When this layer was dry and cut out, everything was cleaned up and sanded to give it a smooth shape.
The case is finished in a white veneer.
