Pencil cups by Ikea turned into output transformer enclosures. (Small transformers only unfortunately)

FÖRHÖJA Cutlery boxes work great for chassis. Unfortunately this type has been replaced by bigger bamboo versions...

Now with the Vlaartronic double c-core transformer. With a single boiled linseed oil coat.

Addictive. Another transformer encased. This time with Ikea Dragan. The reason for this was mainly because the frame was a ferrous material...and not copper as Audio Note does. If it makes a difference I'll never know.

Before.

Cut a convection hole for extra cooling...just in case.

Just in case some of you want to try this. I do put wood glue on the corners as shown in attachment before I put stuff in it. Since the "top" panel is not glued in place ...(the top pannel just slides in ...so it is loose enough that you can hear it if you tap on it...so it won't go anywhere but I prefer it to be glued). And I sand off the polyurethane or whatever shiny coating that is sprayed on at the factory. And coat with boiled linseed oil.

When you need a home for your amp grab a couple of IKEA bamboo chopping boards and some furniture feet

Niiice. Good idea!

I recognize those boards...I used them for a motor platform (got a friend to cnc them)

 

[Bas Horneman]

some furniture feet

Gave me some new ideas with this thanks. They have quite nice feet for a good price. The Borli for example.
