Remember back in day when I did a Craftstick Airplane PC? Even though a lot of people hated that
project and wished I never did it, I still thought it was fun. I wanted to revisit the idea, except this time I
will make a case of craftsticks!
Er. . . . . Popsicle Sticks. Enough for one hell of a headache.

1st side is done
I don't want the case to be any wider than a CD/DVD drive
So I started by adding the lip on which the drive rests on
Just so
Then I created the top and bottom of the case just wide enough
Second side is done
I use extra drives to stand it up
Then I make the lip wider
And stand both sides up
Then carefully add the top
Next comes the bottom
Adding the PSU helps press down the sticks for the glue to dry
The bowing sides will go away when the rest of the supports are added
Time to build the supports. This will cover the area below the DVD drive
Then the lip to the sides where the front will rest
Once it's added, I rest drives on top to even out the glue
After just four hours, I'm nearly done
So I measured out the back IO ports and PSU
And started on it
I then cut out some sticks for the bottom to even it out
Here's just a shot of what the inside looks like
Next I framed out the CD drive. In this case beige really is the perfect color
Look at the front closely and you'll see the "V" pattern I glued on to break up the normal look of the craft
sticks
I'm still working on the back though
I created a small bridge over the PSU to anchor the rest of the back to
I added a few sticks to hold the PSU in place
