This came up in my local Craigslist search. Looks like aluminum top screwed to flocked wood. Cool shape.

RARE 1960s Applied Fuzz and Treble Booster Boost Effects Pedal Vintage - musical instruments - by owner - sale -...
I got this pedal as part of a package deal back in 1979 with a Sears guitar and DynaVox amp. Both of those are long gone but for some reason I stuck this in a box and kept it. I connected a 9 volt...

@temol -
Very creative enclosures!
Two questions/thoughts which both appear amenable to sheet metal enclosures.
Can you make a 2-piece enclosure that slides out (or has a hinged panel) for easy internal access? E.g., for quick adjustment to a trimmer or DIP switch, battery replacement, etc. E.g., akin to this type of a structure - don't look at the exact shape, just that it slides out. With detents that prevent the enclosure from sliding/opening on its own, there's no need for screws and it would still provide good shielding when closed.
What about more curved shapes? E.g., like the pic below - which also reminds me of the old Citroen Deux-Cheveaux car (ignoring tires and fenders). Seems possible with a 2-piece enclosure - bottom and sides could be 90° bends (just with rounded shapes for sides), and top would be rectangular pieces that are then formed by a roller (or perhaps formed to a mold shape via a vacuum pump + bag, as is done in woodworking for veneering).
