Thanks for the insight Wayne. So besides possible estehetics, there can be technical advantages to using chassis that don't propogate eddy curents. I guess one of the things that peaked my interest in this is that I consider myself a better wood worker than metal worker. On top of that, seems to me many of us are out buying large maple and other wood blocks, specail ebony feet, etc. to help improve the "sound" of metal chassis (ringing, etc). So why not start with the end in mind (ala Covey) and begin w/wood? Granted, the material thickness is more of an issue to deal with in mounting components designed for a 0.065 thickness... but can be over come. One of the nice tings about the thickness is that under-chassis screws can easily be hidden, whereas on a metal box they must stick through. I think my next project will be an Eams style chassis.. now, now to bend Baltic Birch?
