Instead of letting it fall by the tech wayside, Josh D recased his old iPod in lovely wood & brass –
My finished wood ipod mini. This has been such a fun project for me. It’s handmade (with special thanks to my 8yr old dremel) from Australian red cedar, Camphor Laurel for the clickwheel, brass plates, brass screws and the guts from the first ipod i ever had.

I wanted to not use any glue at all with the wooden shell, and fortunately i was able to secure it all together just using the brass screws. Especially because I’d like to be able to replace the ipod’s battery in the future, and possibly add a higher capacity flash hard drive.
The wooden clickwheel is simply stuck down on the sensor with very thin double sided tape.
