sawdust
Solid walnut covers all my gear
I want to share my method on how I make a SX-1050 Case, over the years I got several PM from members asking for measurements to make cases for their gear.
First I make a pattern off the original there is 3 pieces for the SX-1050 2 for the sides and a top I always make pattern if I plan on making more then one I made a few dozen SX-1050 cases if your only going to make one case just make a pattern to bore the holes and countersink them I use a plunge router with a 3/4" collet it gives perfect results with on tear out.
Try to copy your old case as close as possible will get in to more detail later. these are the patterns for the SX-1050 Case
This is the stock for the SX-1050 finished planed about 1" Now off to the band saw to slice them in half .
Now to the planer the original sides and top is 0.365" thick it is my target thickness try to get as close as possible to your case thickness my planer has a digital readout accurate within + or - 0.001"
