When you can’t buy it, build it yourself! Early stages of my Vidphon build. Excited by the progress so far.

Thank you, eager myself joberg. Trying to get as much done each day as possible before I go back to work in March. Managed to work on the face plate today.

Face plate ready. I’ll concentrate on the outer shell now.

Excellent!! Questions: how did you cut that perfect circle in foam and where did you find the face-plate?

I simply cut it with a craft knife close to the mdf rim then sanded it level.
The face plate was a file from a guy that built an awesome Vidphon. I saw it on Facebook and asked him for assistance with mine. Not entirely sure if he is on the RPF, I assume he is.

Just like to mention that the faceplate on this one is 2 inches wider than the actual screen used, to accommodate my old iPad. It makes it look a bit chunkier but I’m ok with that.
