By now there must be a few DIY builds of this design - including any of several suppliers of flat-pak kits, or scratch builds.
Those folks who haven't already done so are invited to post photos of their build process or finished project - either to this thread or forward to Dave at the commercial website address listed below.

You do realize that the design is a timeless classic? No less so than the Coca-Cola bottle, the VW Beetle and the Kikkoman flask. Please forgive me my being so dramatic, but this is serious stuff 🙂

Some very nice examples so far. I have more in progress I'll post pics when they're done.

that there's our friend Bernie's work
I hadn't even seen the new tidied up (for now!) room - very nice
Bernie will be taking on bespoke works of wooden audio art. Racks, speakers, platforms.
