Not a carved project, but my Carve King needed a new home. The goal is to have a completely enclosed (maybe a viewing window later) enclosure for my Carve King and my laser attachment. I also wanted the ability sound proof this a bit as it can be a bit loud at times. Work in progress but I will keep posting pictures. To do: Re-Enforce the bottom of the legs Cut exterior walls and ceiling Cut door frame Insulate sides and top with cellulose Cut camera mount Cut led light mount Mount/Wire enclosure safety switch for laser Wood fill bottom gaps/top Cut hole in top for wires Sand/route all edges Ahhhh tons to do!

Looks like you have a good plan and it's coming along nicely.

Are you going to leave the electronics inside?

Are you going to leave the electronics inside? I was thinking I was going to, but not sure. Does the standard Carve King have enough cable length to place it elsewhere? My original thought was to make an enclosure inside the enclosure. Always willing to take suggestions.

My original thought was to make an enclosure inside the enclosure. Always willing to take suggestions. I want to say, there was enough length to mount the electronics in a manner where it wouldn't be in there. From your pictures it looks like you could drill a hole in the back, run the wires out and mount the enclosure on the backside of the enclosure.

Took the advise and mounted the electronics outside the enclosure, mounted the led with zip ties and screws and shoved my small shopvac on top. Overall, happy it’s done. Could have made it quieter if I had insulated the front door... maybe I will put a small layer of rigid foam inside the front. Just need to sand some edges and act like I don’t see the imperfections.
