This project didn't require too much hand-crafting. I took the box that my Big Muff Pi (the old version with the black case) came in and a wall-wart-like dual power supply (+/- 12V & 5V) and put them together with some banana plug sockets and, voila, she is complete.
Well, technically not complete. I still need to add the AC power cord and some labels for the 3 voltages (I did manage to get the ground labeled).
Acquiring a reliable dual power supply has been quite a challenge. For the longest time I sought circuits that didn't require such a supply. I also attempted to hack together one that didn't quite work. I've also purchased a number of dual supplies at the MIT Flea that require a tad more TLC/useful package to help.
