Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
brihyn:
Chapel-
The door looks great...better than mine (using OND's plans). The door fits, but it's quite snug (usually a firm tap is necessary to completely close it)

Brihyn,
I too am using OND's back door design - 1/2" into 3/4" recessed. Only thing I can't figure - how do you hinge it? Piano or kitchen unit hinges?
Cutting starting today - gulp!!
Must say though - just marked out the side panel profile + it looks great - slimline and great angles-
:woot Thanks a million, OND! :woot
Ond:
Hey guys keep those updates coming, my build plans are all well and good but its you guys that now have the practical experience implementing them.
@ Kevinem82 - You're welcome my friend a video would be great but you can post a few progress build pics as well (if you've got any).
@ stigzler - Good luck with your first cuts, don't worry about mistakes, in fact expect some! This whole hobby is learn as you go.
BTW I haven't finished completing the overall instructions, there's more to come and will cover final construction details and finishing.
cheers all
Ond

Hi Ond,
As I am getting closer to building the control panel, I have started reading your
Construction plans and have a question.
When putting together the control panel do you have it setup so it can be opened later to repair or install additional items to it? If not, what would you suggest? Maybe I guess make the bottom removeable to be able to get in there later if need be.
Thanks
Chapel

The design is for a closed CP with access through the rear cutouts. There are a few bolts that hold the CP to the main cab body so the CP can be removed to work on. If you felt this was too cramped or you didn't want to remove the CP for access you could make the bottom removable as you suggest.
