my first cab
jipp:
hey guys. i wish i would of found this forum before i started my mame cab 4 months ago about.
after looking at so many great cabs on here my cab looks like a first grader built it. o well, live and learn. i did do some research before diving in and came up with the plans from mameroom. the ultimate 2.
the plans are good. they do not go into great detail so if you do use the plans use some common sense:)
which i lack obv. laughs. also do not use OSB. that is my only real regret in this build. i feel so stupid using it now, all cause i wanted to save a few bucks cause if i messed up on my first cab i figured would not be that big of a deal using OSB. i did not mess up ( well i did build to left side to the base.. oops ), and now i well yeah you get the point. laughs. i can say its probably over built too. after seeing most of you do not use 2x4 for the frame.
i did blog the whole thing and take pictures they can be found here if you wish to take a peek..

i so wish i would of found this place before i started :) after i finish this ill start on a cab for my sister taking what i learn from this and doing 110% better job.. which in returns mean ill have to build another cab to replace this one. laughs.
anyhow.

hey dont be so hard on yourself. The woodchip pattern actually works well with the pirate thing. I think you did an excellent job building it - looks really REALLY sturdy. Imagine how good it'll turn out on the next one!
