Step 5The case
This is a very agricultural way to make a case, the right way would be to use some cheap chipboard or pine and veneer it with a nicer wood. In the interests of unskilledness I layer caked the case up from individual sections cut form a plank.
Milled out the areas needed for the rev counter, router pcb board, op-amp protoboard and channel for the aerial coax to the rear.
I marked each section from a template, cut with the scroll saw, glued and sanded.
Finished with a dark stain and semi gloss.

Love it. But I think your idea of the wooden case might be the best part ad suggest you contact D-Link and such and see of they wouldn't be interested in doing a line of "wooden" routers and such. I suspect the industry never thought of anything but the "high tech" look when designing accessories for the computer/network and that, now that the Home Networking is a bigger thing, it might well fit in nicely. Imagine your "box" as a wireless cable modem w/or w/o the speed dial! The "industry" could replicate the style with a cheap Chinese blow mold and adapt it to hang on a wall or sit prettily upon a desk. Send me 1% of gross sales of you pull this off 828-394-0035 Charles
