Going for a taito with a few changes. Started a while back will post progress.
This will not be a dedicated cabinet. There will be a drawer in which i put a laptop in and plug everything up to whenever I want to play.
Materials:
2x of 16mm 4x8 MDF
4 caster wheels
2x 2x4
1 can primer oil based
1 can black paint (oil based)
2x HAPP Comp.
Lots of buttons

First Cuts
String Method Not perfect but it worked well enough
Both sides cut a little water damage from the ride home but its the bottom so no biggy.
More updates to come

So I've hit a wall pretty early. The problem is MDF splitting. I made little strips of extra MDF to connect the cabinet together. I even drill a small hole first but the woo keeps splitting. Any advice.

wanna post a pic, then we can help better.
Im guessing some battons will help though?
GregD:
MDF should not be screwed into from the ends. It just always splits or mushrooms because the material is so dense. I would get some softwood and use that to make batons. This is a much better method for assembling an MDF cabinet. Personally, I really hate MDF but it seems to be what everyone around here uses. Good luck!
