Bornach<p>Making a DIY <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Eurorack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eurorack</span></a> case from 3M screw rails, MFOS bipolar power supply, and scrap wood I found in this house I moved into last year. This is mainly a project for getting more practice using power tools. I lived in small rental accommodation nearly all my life so had little reason to own any until now. </p><p>Which way should I orient it?
