    Glad to see more people embracing the "cut to fit" method of building.

    That was awesome!!!! I’ve been in wood shop at school for 2 years and I’ve learned a lot from RUclips and your videos! I know a bunch of terms before my teacher teaches them 😄 Thank You!!!

    David, the best "trick" I've seen for getting the spacing right on a part you want to replicate is to scan it along with a size reference like a small ruler for scale.
    Then you adjust the image so that the scale is correct and you should have a near perfect copy to work with.

    I like the white brick background you’re using instead of the stacked stone look. Nice job.

    Your cutaways and shredding when you'd touch the keys make your style so much. Love your humor and creativity! Keep it up, Dave!

    Beautiful work, this is something I need to do with EVERY synth I own, just to give it that personal touch.

    The after to me had a much nicer tone. The wood enclosure really gave it that warm vintage sound. haha...Great job David it looks great!

    @Doughfam 6 лет назад +2

    I love it when you do projects like this where you figure it as you go. It is also a huge improvement in looks over the original!

  • @Polarzbek
    @Polarzbek 6 лет назад

    I've watched plenty of your videos but I think this is my favorite video I've seen so far. This is great! You combined wood and music which are two of my favorite things! Keep up the good work and cheers!

    Love this case replacement! It would be awesome to take this a step further and add additional controls and functionality and have it all in one beautiful unit! Things like a computer keyboard or audio mixer. Great work!

    Love this upcycling stuff!! About a year ago I scrapped a piano with the intention of throwing a synth inside of it. Hope this can inspire me to finally get back to work on that!

  • @BruceAUlrich
    @BruceAUlrich 6 лет назад

    I wouldn't have thought it would be that complex either, but like you mentioned, when you take something like that apart, you never know what you'll find. Good job!

  • @0Argonaut
    @0Argonaut 6 лет назад

    Dude Picciuto, bravo! Cool project, cool music and better editing. As a product designer I can understand perfectly the hustle you had replacing plastic with wood.
    Only one minor complain: I miss Eric!
    Keep the good stuff coming

    great build. I like the middle section which is Classic Picciuto. Love the fact that this is a fly by the seat of your pants plan, which is the way I always build things. Thank you for sharing. Finally listened to Making It Podcast episode 163 where you talked about it.

  • @WayofWood

    David, I really like these upcycle videos! After seeing this though Im interested in the different music set ups you have. I know your mostly a woodworker but the name "make something I think leaves it open ended which gives you the ability to "make anything!" Just a thought. Great build!

    love love love this. Fun fact: I think I first learned about your channel when I found your wood end pieces for the MS-20 mini (I also have one along with an Arturia MiniBrute SE). Second fun fact: this project is the inverse of one I've had in mind for a while - planning to take apart a super old Roland digital piano and use Arduino to make it into a midi controller.
