Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
Ond:
Great work Palen! I loved the theme when you first announced and the final artwork has turned out really really nice. It was good checking out your build pics, and some very useful info on build, paint, materials and artwork application. You should still create your own project thread of your progress / steps to completion even though you've finished it up ;D.
This is exactly the sort of result I'd hoped for when I first thought of the Metropolis project, folks taking the initiative with the design and some build basics and making it their own.
If you're reading this and feeling like getting into the hobby, then go for it! Announce it here and make a start. I'm here to help as are many others.
Hmm, *chin scratch* I really like the modded table version of this cab, in particular the size, it's a big bartop! It could suitt space challenged people and still be a two player cab. I may draw up some modded plans along the lines of Palen's cab and share them out. Stay tuned.
:cheers:
Happy New (Onds?) Year

Palen. That's wicked.

Right, I can't stand it any more. I've finally cracked and ordered my wood. Seeing all of the fantastic results in this thread and reading stigzler's excellent web site I just have to have a go at building my own cab from scratch. As it stands I have a circular saw, jig saw, router and all 10 fingers. I'll keep you posted on progress (especially the number of fingers).
Thanks to everyone on this thread for making it sound easier than I'm sure it is going to be, and offer inspiration, encouragement and detailed explanations.

;D Good on ya BeeryGaz! Welcome to the forum and a fun and extremely addictive hobby. I'm sure you have already, but, I'll say it anyway - be sure to to browse the Project Announcements plenty, get to know the regulars, check out the Wiki and do your research. stigzler is a good example of someone who's done just that.
Don't try to rush your project, practice with any tools you are newer to on scrap wood first, and take plenty of pics of your work to document the journey.
:cheers:

:D - not the first time I've been called "an example" :D
My tuppence-worth:
1. Don't drink beer whilst routing.
2. Make sure you drink lots of beer.
Oh, and give yourself time... lots of time.....!
Look forward t the pics, Gaz.
