I debated what approach to take, but decided to keep it a little more personal here. I made a promotional post on Reddit but Keebtalk has always felt more like a small family — many of you probably know me already or have seen my Minila builds around here.
Over the past year, my life and career took a bit of a turn, and I’ve been putting my time into design and fabrication work. I recently launched Dusty Acorns to share some of those projects.
At the moment, most of the shop is keyboard-focused and will likely remain that way for a while — though I do have a few other projects in the works. I’d love for you all to follow along as it all grows.
Please take a look when you have time and let me know what you think! Open to all feedback, thoughts, ideas, suggestions!
(PS: Mods — please DM me if this post breaks any rules. I wasn’t entirely sure if promotional posts require registration or fees. Will gladly fix or remove post if needed!)
Ohhhh I remember seeing that keyboard shelf post and didn’t know it was you lolol. It’s a pretty neat idea you have and I’m kinda surprised that no one else has seemingly made a similar product (at least for sale).
The miter work on those corners is gorgeous, and you clearly used some really nice no-void veneered ply. The dovetail splines are just the cherry on top. Nice, nice work.
If you continue to go down this path, the chroma-ply skateboard stuff might work well for the keyboard audience.
Thank you!
It is baltic birch plywood that I cold press veneered with urea glue, specifically because baltic birch plywood is voidless and dimensionally consistent – and it’s crazy hard to find pre-veneered sheets that isn’t prohibitively expensive.
Chromaply looked super nice just expensive as well, but now I can’t seem to find them online anymore(?). A big issue is always the size of sheets is pretty limited to ship. I am playing with the idea of picking up some skateboard deck veneers try to make my own rainbow plywood, some maybe a little down the line. I have some 3/4 sheets of valchromat that I’ve yet to find a good use for–that stuff is really pretty too, just a pain to work with and finish since it’s basically MDF.
Hey everyone!
I’ve adjusted prices and am running a Black Friday sale with free shipping on all orders. Feel free to take a peek!
Tis the holiday shopping season.
Thanks for all the love!
