Another Donkey Kong Scratch build - 8/31/10 - FIXED VIDEO OBJECT
sk8ersublime:
Hey everyone,
Today I went to the hardware store and bought my 5/8'' wood for my side panels, I have a couple of questions about the jakobud.com plans. I may need someone with a DK cab to help me out. First here is a pic of what I have drawn on the wood so far, its the only pic I have and my phone died right when i took it.
ok so my question is, from just the side panel without the base, i feel like the control panel is VERY low, and also, the horizontal line in the top right of my 1st pic, is how tall i am. Im taller than this cab? The measurement i got from back corner to top corner is 65.5''.
As for the control panel, could someone with a cab maybe measure from the bottom of the side panel to the top of control panel? or explain to me why it feels like this? I believe for the most part my cab follows the plans, except for maybe a bit off at the top (near the marquee)
Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks for looking

First off, don't trust the Jakobud plans and don't trust the pic you compared it to.
Second, Nintendo cabs are shorter than most.
