Yeah well i am still in the design phase. It's a lot of fun to do a lot of research. I think every part of making the cab has it's own ups and downs.
Look look i made a controlpanel.... spending hours learning Google Sketchup :

Ok new update, i started to cut the side panels, you can now see how the design will look like. I know OSB is not the best material, but i am on a tight budget. So i am using cheap wood and a lot of wood i already have. That way i can save money to laminate it, and have nice artwork.
It's a tight fit, but i have measured correctly the CRT will fit with the right angle.
As you can see i have cut out a piece of wood in the back so it's symetrical, and the wheels will fit nice. The wheels will always hit the ground so it should be sturdy enough.
I am a little worried about the control panel, i do not know how to attach it (it will fit on top) maybe i should make a little adjustment by cutting a little deeper in the front so it will fit inside.
And after a lot of sanding they are identical twins:
I did not use that saw for cutting by the way. I used that saw for the corners because they were not identical, sanding that difference was too much!
Tonight a friend will help me with the TV (so i won't kill myself) , i'll post more pics soon. if i do not post anything anymore, he did not help me enough ;)

Just curious if you're still alive ;)
This is the reason I'm working at a slim cabinet with an LCD in it. So I don't have to mess with high voltage tubes.

Off to a great start. I really like the lowboys so am looking forward to seeing this develop :cheers:
