Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'

Thanks so much for confirming! I'll make the radius slightly larger.
I'm definitely going to use a template for the CP. As for the corners for these side panels-- I can pull it off free hand. As long as I stay just outside the pencil line I feel confident doing it. :cheers:
Also, I'm from Miami. I was instantly sold on your art deco design since that's our staple architecture style at the beach.

hey vaderag,
Hope you're well!
How did you end up mounting the marquee art? If you're using purple t-molding on the marquee wood panels, where are the marquee retainers?
Would really like to know what you did there.
edit: I researched the forums and noticed you considered making small grooves but since the marquee panels aren't "flat" it wasn't possible. If you used tape/glue I'll definitely consider it too. If you could be detailed in terms of how you applied the tape/glue with the t-molding I'll give it a go. The t-molding color is a really nice touch and I wouldn't want to use a plain bracket.
Thanks!

Hi mate,
I tried a BUNCH of different methods - bending Aluminium, clips etc. In the end used Tape - 50mm Black Electrical Tape in fact.
The bottom of the marquee sits in a slot on the flat piece, it's a little close as there is a slot on the top and a slot for the t-mould on the front
Then the top of the marquee is taped to the top of the unit.
I then cut the back off some t-mould and glue gunned it straight as possible on top of the tape
Hope that helps!

Thanks for coming back! I see where you're going but I don't understand how you have the marquee leaning forward if the groove on the bottom marquee panel would make it lean back since it's downward angled. Attached is a quick visual of what I mean. We're looking at the cabinet from the profile.
Is it that you have the marquee in the groove pivoted at a 45 degree leaning forward ie not fully in the slot (not seated at 90 degrees)?
Sorry for the additional questions, I just really want to get this right before assembly:
1) Is the groove cut inward a few mm from the edge (like the attached graphic) or is it cut right at the beginning where the t-molding would push on it? Based on your photos looks like it's a rebate right "behind" the edge
2) No grooves/rebates on the top panel, correct? Just t-molding.
Thanks again! I really appreciate it.

Mine doesn't look like that - it has a flat bit at the bottom and it just rests against the top...
