You've been talking about ripping this 3rd side off in about 9 other threads ;) Are you going to integrate the ripped off cp into another cab? --- End quote --- I'm going to smash the CP into tiny little pieces, light it on fire and then and bury the ashes in my back yard. ;D I doubt the CP will be salvagable - maybe the panel with the button holes but I don't think I'll have another use for it. I don't even like the layout. --- Quote from: opt2not on September 30, 2010, 03:50:58 pm ---The other thing I was thinking was you could turn that hole into a lit-marquee area. I noticed on your blog you named your cabinet Knights of the Arcade Table. I just grabbed the Knights of the Round title screen and pasted in that spot. Just another thought... :cheers: --- End quote --- That looks sweet. I'm thinking about it. If I can't get a piece of birch veneer like 1/16" or thinner to cover the hole (that I will patch underneath with plywood) I might go the marquee route. I'm hoping I can stain the veneer to match and then it won't be that noticeable. If I can get a piece the size of the entire panel then even better but I don't know where to look for something like that. EDIT: I found a source online but it is EXPENSIVE. I'm also not sure how I'd glue it down to the surface evenly. A piece of MDF and a few cinder blocks for pressure? It's good that it is on the long side because I'll be able to use my router to get a perfect fit around the edges once it is glued in place. The t-molding should cover the edges since the original plywood is less than 3/4". I think this is going to work. |
