T-molding around *ENTIRE* side?
<< < (3/4) > >>
Mysterioii:
My t-molding only wraps around to the underside by a few inches.  It's sitting on carpet too, and I had found some of the teflon-style sliders (not felt or carpet-like) that were narrow strips about 3 inches long and just about 3/4" wide.  Adhesive backed, think I probably got them at Home depot (7 years ago).  I think I put 3 or 4 of them on each side, you can barely see them even if you know to look for them and the whole cab slides pretty well on the carpet.

Thanks guys.  In the melee, I *did* order another 20 feet of t-molding from arcademolding.com (free member plug...*KAPOW*!!).   But, my "I've got all the toys" neighbor's been sniffing around asking about a bartop, so I may just build him one out of an old PC and 15" LCD I have laying around.  :afro: :afro:


Like I said, I used 3 parts wood glue, 1 part water and "painted" all of the exposed edges right after cutting/machining.  When that was dry, 100 grit paper could BARELY smooth it down, it was so hard.  So, I'm not too worried.  I'm also doing black/black, so it won't be noticed.

I'm more worried about moving it than the t-molding anyway.  I have to go down the hill around the house and in through a 33" door.  So, I'll have to take it apart anyway.  Looks like I'll have to borrow a hand-truck from someone...

Again...thanks for the help.  It puts my mind at ease.

My main machine has large metal L shaped strips along the side panels, painted the same and doesn't detract from the visual in any way. They came with the machine from an arcade.

These look like the same sliders I used...  Looks like they're 25mm wide so just about an inch.  If you're gonna put your cab on carpet and don't have wheels/casters under it I really recommend something like this...  it stays very stationary, it's not like it's sliding around all over the place.  But when you WANT it to move, it's much easier.

If you would have laminated your cabinet I would be worried about T-molding on the bottom.  I moved mine before putting T-molding on and caused a small chip in the corner.    :banghead:

With paint I wouldn't give it a second thought at this point.  If something does get chipped you can easily touch it up and it will never be noticed.
