Great to see you back at it!
Man I want me one of those CNC's
How long did it take you to build that?

Thanks Bender. The machine took about 3 months to build. That includes the controller.

Thanks. Yes I built it in 2009. This link has a lot of information regarding the CNC if you are interested. I just updated that thread to fix the youtube link.

Like the others, good to see you back Mountain, your crafstmanship with your tools is amazing. Your last Juke for your dad, was simply perfection. Look forward to this one. I have the CNC bug myself, you did say the programming is a :censored: and that stuff aggravates me, It would be nice, one day.....Can't wait to see the updates.....thanks for sharing your talents, always a pleasure.

Thank you, I really loved that project. My Dad uses his Jukebox all of the time.
Here are some shots of some of the parts I made this weekend.
The part on the left is the speaker grill insert. It is made from acrylic glued to 1/2" MDF. It will be back mounted to the wood laminate face and the grill material will be back mounted into the two openings you see here.
The oval in the center is for a special plaque the customer has requested. It will be made from .030" brass and engraved with text.
I was also able to finish hand routing the trim piece. it has a 45 deg. bevel on the inside and a 3/4" round over on the outside.
Here is a quick tip: Instead of using regular Bondo or wood filler to patch small holes, like above. I recommend using glazing putty. The stuff is smooth as silk and dries super fast. Plus, it works straight out of the tube, no mixing.

I've made a lot of progress on the juke, just haven't found the time to post.
I wanted to round over the corners for the sides, so I made a jig to bend each corner piece.
I used the CNC to relief cut two 1/4" pieces of MDF to wrap around the jig.
Here is the first piece clamped.
Then the second. I used polyurethane glue (Gorilla Glue) for this.
To make it easy to locate and clamp the finished corners, I cut a pocket .1" deep into the back plate.
All done
