Oops! You are right those measurements are wrong, the top most measurement should be 75 1/4" with the next angle starting at 72 14/32". Hmmm, I better recheck all measurements, I'll update the cutting plans with corrected measurements after that. Looks like a typo on my part. Well spotted, thanks!

Thanks Ond, that looks perfect. I was hoping to make first cuts today, but never got the chance. Hopefully within the next week.

Nice job Ond...this will be a nice benefit to those new to the hobby and others! :applaud:

I went trough this thread a few times to make myself familiar with the steps, and next up is getting the wood..the timber kind! Since we have metric system here, I'll round everything up to the closest. I'm also going to incule a rotating display (20" 4:3) so I need to do some modifications and the CP is going to have more stuff later on. What I wanted to say..THANKS! This is awesome! The design is exactly to my liking and the instructions are really good. Hopefully you'll be updating soon ;). If you have ideas for the bezel construction when having a rotating display, please share (or point me to the right direction, so I won't accidently hijack the thread ;) )

You're welcome and I'm glad you like the design. This cab design could work well with a rotating 4:3 20" display, when I fix up some minor typos in the current cutting plans, I'll give some thought to a Bezel that would suit rotation. My job is taking up all my time at the moment both during and after hours but hopefully I will have spare time this weekend. I always intended to do a metric version of the plans so I'll get that posted up as well.
It would be very useful to get actual build feedback on this design, as I said to Strokemouth feel free to post any comments you have during your build here also.

Might be that I missed something along the way, but it seems to me, that the designs don't have the back door included. First I thought that it's meant to be made from the back panel cutout, but then you mentioned, that it should be made from a 1/2 inch panel. Some ppl might not have extra 1/2 mdf lying around, so they need to make a extra trip to get the extra wood, when they realize that they are missing it (if they haven't read the instructions thoroughly enough) :)
