[phirzcol] sent us this amazing step by step build of a retro looking keyboard, inspired by [Von Slatt] and his work. [phirzcol] starts with a conventional keyboard and removes the keys. He steams some wood to wrap the keyboard, then finishes it off nicely. The process of making the keys looks pretty grueling. Each essential has 4 parts which have to be hand cut and assembled. A blue accent light is a good touch as well.  The keyboard looks pretty good, but we’d like to try typing on it for a while to see how usable it is.  If it looks like too much effort, you can actually purchase it on ebay.
