Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
vaderag:
If you look through the thread I posted a cm version of the design - pretty certain that had the angles on... there is certainly enough info to work it out
Remember you'll need to modify somewhat as likely you won't have the same monitor as op

Are you referring to this post / drawing? http://www.apjgriffiths.com/shared/METROPOLIS_ARCADE_CAB-CENTIMETRES.png
If so, still the same issue, except in centimeters.. I can't go point to point to make the angle as the measurements aren't all there to accomplish that.
Thanks

Having marked and cut mine a few weeks back using that diagram I can 100%promise that if you're looking for something that isn't on there, then it can either be worked out with some basic trigonometry or is not needed :)

I figure it's something I just don't "get" that's why I'm asking for help.. So in your drawing.. Let's take the 15* cut that needs made..
We know it starts 20.3 in from the left.. We know it starts 97.5 from the bottom.. We know the cut goes to 124.7.. So I know the width of the start of the cut (20.3 from the left edge). I know the height of the start of the cut (97.5 from the bottom).. I know how high I have to go with the cut (124.7 from the bottom).. But I don't know the width I take that cut to meet the 124.7 from the bottom measurement..
How do I get that?
Thanks much!!!

Okay, so, I'm not 100% certain but I think you're talking about the main diagonal...
The key is to draw your straight lines longer than needed, but mark the end points. You'll end up with essentially dots you can join up. The 15 degrees is from the vertical, so having the longer vertical also gives you the basis for that angle. Also, I found that my protractor want precise enough to get the lines spot on with it, so doing it this way made it easier to match everything up.
Also, don't worry about being too precise on the second piece - if you're using the flush trim router then you'll be fine :)
