Could you maybe send me some pics of what holds the sides and other panels together from your cabinet?

Here are some pics of the inside:



It is in my dining room and up against the wall so I can't really take any new pictures (the cab is finished).   :cheers:

Yea i hope to have a finished cab soon...at least in the next month or so....i am jealous of your finished cab.... :angry: lol

Anyway, I got a lot done last night!

I cut the side panels and I routed the slot for the T molding, which went ok until for whatever reason the height of the blade dropped while i was cutting which mis-aligned my slot :(, i fixed the height and went back over it which of course made the slot to big, but ill fill it in with some putty when i goto put the molding on, im sure it will be fine, ill find a way to make it work. I have never used a router before, so I tested the blade on some scrap wood, and thought i would be fine.  But After that first side panel that was screwed up, the 2nd one was perfect. Oh and I had to use my jigsaw anyway for the side panels, the flush trim bit i bought was too thick for my router (that's what she said) ;) So after I used the jigsaw i found a finishing sander that looked like it was from the 50s that my grandpa had, and it cleaned everything up really nice!

Here are a few pics.







Just testing the T-molding ^

I cant wait til I have these sides put together and have a standing frame! The only thing that is gonna be a pain in the ass from here out is the speaker panel, at least for the outside pieces....then comes all the monitor trouble which I havent decided if ill keep my 19'' LCD for this, or if I will get a CRT....low power consumption is always a plus....but i dont know which way im leaning yet.

Looks like a good start.  It worries me that the slot cutter dropped on your router mid cut.  that should NOT happen and could be VERY dangerous.  Next time triple check ALL of the locks on your router before cutting - everything should be very tight and nothing should move other than the motor while you are cutting.  I'd hate for you to cut yourself or worse.

My DK took me about 4-5 months to finish working sporadically on the weekends only and not every weekend - like maybe 3 or 4 of them when the wife and kids were at the beach.  The bulk of the work for me was stripping the side art, sanding and painting - I'm sure you have more work since you are starting with nothing!
