Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'

Thank you. Was out of the country for a month and Internet was spotty at best.

Hey guys!
I'm new to this scene and the forum!
So sorry if any questions have been asked a million times now!
OND and everyone thats helped, thank you so much for such a awesome cabinet design.
I know this thread is super old, but I've JUST got into the idea of building one of these beautys.
Hopefully I'm not bringing it back from the dead :O!
So i'm from the UK, and I had the original imperial plans and my dad asked me to find Metric ones if possible. - I grabbed yours just above here Stigzler, so thank you bro!
I also grabbed these plans from another post in the thread - sorry i cant remember who uploaded it,, but thank you! - Are these the like the original OND design or CP altered? (attached)
They're slightly different in measurements?
I will be making this cabinet with my father.. I have 0 knowledge of woodwork or anything lmao.
Is there anything I should know/tell my father before we take the plans and go ahead to cut? haha.
@Stigzler I saw you uploaded a sketchbook file up awhile ago, do you still have that file? I tried to download it but 404!
I've ordered this for the monitor. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CQ3MYX3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So i'll need to amend the plans I think.
Also I wanted to see if it was possible to build it less.. deep? So it doesn't stand out from the wall as much. Or is that needed?
Sorry again for being a newbie!
Cheers guys!

Hi Zilka,
In terms of what you attached, use what I'm attaching instead. What you're referencing is my buddy's custom measurements with wider adjustments.
The attached version is for those who wanted metric based off Ond's original specifications (reply #370). I used the imperial version that worked fine (again, #370 for those).
I don't believe anyone here has used this metric version, however. I think it'll work great except for one possible error which are those two large side panels. If you look up reply #524 the creator of the metric version didn't have enough depth space inside to fit the screen. Something went wrong with the interpretation of the angles and his panels came out "skinnier". I think the issue is that the autocad (dwg/dwf) files from reply #370 for the side panels aren't correctly scaled and the angles aren't accurate.
Anyway, if your pops wants to stick to metric this is what I suggest:
1) Use the attached for everything except the side panels
2) For the side panels, use the imperial version PDF in reply #370 and convert it yourself to metric.
If you want to stick with this design, you'll have to accept the depth. It's actually a pretty nice balance compared to how deep the originals are.
Read Ond's step by step instructions in the first few pages and you can start cutting. Just a heads up though, people usually design their control panels differently because Ond's version is a bit unique and a lot is left for interpretation. It's not a big deal because the control panel is a separately bolted box from the bigger cabinet so you can be flexible with what design you choose.

Heya,
ZTylerDurden717 Thanks so much for your reply and taking the time to attach that metric file.
I will take my time to look at the posts you numbered.
As I said I'm totally new to this scene and still really really newbie.
I chose OND's cab simple because it just looked so nice in style.
My other half asked if I could make the depth quite shallow.. so it doesn't stick out the wall as much.. Do you know/can you suggest any other cabs with a shallow depth at all?
I know my Dad will only give me 1 shot at this simply because 1, its expensive and 2, he is moving away abroad so its a one chance gig. haha.
So I want to make sure I choose the right one! :)
Thanks alot!

Zilka,
You're welcome.
Create a separate thread in the Main section and ask if someone can help point you in the direction of cutting plans with smaller depth. You won't find the solution in this thread.
