What to do if I have a pre-bulit cabinet
<< < (2/2)
Marsupial:
Yeah, I wasn't skilled ennough for woodworking, neither any of the guys on this forum prior to making their first. You know, until you try, you're never skilled ennough.

see how poorly my cab ended up being, because I had no prior experience in cab-making:




Anyone willing to try can achieve it.

hint: this place is called "build your own arcade controls"
quadrider1:
as said above,
plz take apart the xarcade if anything, when people just throw the xarcade on the cab it looks really bad.
Without seeing the cab i say take apart the xarcade and make a new control panel.
Flip The Switch:
I think that everytime i see an X aracde slapped ontop a cab too "ugh"

Aren't skilled enough?

No offense but I cant believe your pops would discourage you from learning from and trying a "skilled" wood working project. As said, most people on this board (including myself) aren't exactly skilled craftsmen. As a matter of fact, I'm in hte same boat as you! I have a cabinet waiting to be restored and I plan to build my own. I still come here every day trying to learn more about woodworking and building, but I'm very confident once I start, I'll be good. When you have the passion to do something, you research, teach yourself, and do it. That is why you're here friend!

I'm also proposing you to forget those X-Arcades and build your own controls. Look around this forum and study what others have successfully done. With the proper tools and a good understanding I think anyone can see it. Depending on the type of cab you have, I bet putting together your own panel would be a piece of cake. Best of y'all it would be your controls the way you want!
