I figure it could be made like this: Take a square billet and route out a
groove to get the L shape. Slice it into pieces. Machine out a
compartment for the DB25 and cut a groove from the cable entry to the
compartment. Put the cable and DB25 in the compartment and run the cable
where it needs to go, then fill with epoxy and smooth it out.

I got the
weird idea that the odd keyboard cable hood for the Commodore
sx64 could be made out of wood fairly simply. Is there anyone here who is
good at woodworking who'd be interested in doing some tinkering with me?
What does it look like?
Personally, I'd rather machine it from a block of plastic, I think. Wood
is not a material i get on with.
