I posted this one to !woodworking too, as I do most of my furniture projects, but I'm particularly proud of how this one came out. Solid white oak with genuine mortise-and-tenon joinery.
It was even the same brand. I love when hoarding materials pays off.
Hand-wired, 3D printed case, laser cut switch plate, “laser dye sub” keycaps, custom layout....
Made these for my wife :) She drew the board shape and asked me to make it look like a circuit board. Everything on there is actually functional because I couldn’t bring myself to put down random components.
Fitting a braided bracelet like this is terrible btw
Don't worry, this little angel respawns whenever he's eaten, and tastes like raspberry!
Table saw to get straight sides. Belt sander to get a curve to the blade tip....
Would love to hear all's thoughts!

I didn't care much for the blocky IKEA table we had so I made one with similar dimensions inspired by Alexandre Chappel's design.
…to go with my hand-wired keyboard (or any keyboard). Numpad is “Masonite” hardboard I cut myself and painted with “textured” spray paint. I had the keyboard layout cut from aluminum by Xometry a few months back.
If you use the right ink, the right plastic keycaps made for mechanical keyboards, and the right settings on your laser, you can effectively dye-sublimate any design you want....
