im really exited about the metropolis art (if you decide to go that way) especially the fritz lang version.

are you going to actually build this yourself too, or purely virtual? if you do, make sure you video document it all in your finest dungaree's!

I'm definitely going with the Fritz Lang Metropolis theme, initially (for me) this will be a virtual build. There may be the need for me to check some build methods as practical exercises to make sure what I'm describing is accurate though. Once I'm done with my current real-life cab build this would be something I'd like to build myself.

I'd say revisit your thinking once I get the build procedure posted. A table saw, would not be necessary but a circular saw and jig saw would be the sort of basic tools I'm talking about. I wouldn't expect someone to build any cabinet, curves angles or otherwise with out basic tools including a router as well. It's not just altruism or practicality that I'm about, it's still got to be interesting and creative i.e. fun (for me as well as others). As I've said, it won't suit the majority, but it might suit some.

I assume that wasn't directed at me, but instead to the guy who wanted you to design a cabinet that could be built with no tools. Hopefully my feedback wasn't received in any bad way because I wasn't saying it with any ill intentions and by no means was I suggesting a design by committee approach. I like the Metropolis design/theme and appreciate your time on this project.

Correct assumption Lew, sorry if you thought I was referring to your feedback. In fact All constructive feedback is appreciated, my comments are more about any assessment of how easy it would be to build the design at this stage before I've had a chance to describe that process. No man, you bring a huge wealth of experience to any design or build you cast your eye over, regardless of weather I agreed with any aesthetic preferences I know your intentions are good :cheers:

If I can help in any way, let me know. Metropolis is one of my favorite films. In fact, I got the Complete Restored Version for Christmas!

Thanks man :cheers: yeah I'm staring at my copy, a beautifully boxed edition but the one before the final released version :'( . You know I'm going to go out and get the same one you've got doncha? ;) I've been re-watching it over the years ever since the Moroder version - it just gets better on each reviewing I reckon.

I'm going to put considerable effort into this, ironically a lot more than is needed on the cab design geometry.

I would think with all the LEDs and other bling you could throw on the cabinet, it would fit in Yoshiwara just fine. Thematically, you could go with the false Maria in robot form or the "For her, all seven deadly sins" seductress Maria. Either would look cool.

I'm listening to ya with huge ears ;D keep it coming (I'm taking notes).

I didn't realize you had another project on the go.

I'll have to check it out sometime ;D

Sorry, Wasn't trying to criticize your methodology... Was just concerned that this cab, as you have posted so far, will be more difficult to build than the majority of people on these boards can handle. Do you plan on building one first before releasing the instruction set? If you do, don't take 3 years to build it because I'm anxious to start one! :lol

I was planning on building a JAMMA cocktail this summer- might have to rethink those plans. :laugh:
