I started my cab in... oh never mind. Keep going with your project and keep posting. Opinions and feedback are all useful and all but actual builders are getting thin on the ground at BYOAC. I love seeing what other people build, it's why I keep coming back. "Build what you dig bro". :cheers: |

Well I've now finally got around to adding the T-Molding. Probably should've added artwork first, but tbh I don't know what to do for that yet and wanted to at least give a "finished" look to the cabinet/woodwork as it's currently sitting in the house and playable. I've also wired up a switch for the volume and one for the lights to the outside of the cabinet (back) (i.e. I can turn off the marquee/trackball light without turning off the cabinet or adjust the volume (and even plug in headphones). The light switch was part of the marquee lighting I'd bought but didn't reach outside of the cabinet so I've extended the lead now. The volume/headphone switch was already part of the speaker set I'm using so again I just ran it out of the cabinet between 2 panels and stuck it on. I've stuck the switches to the cabinet with "glue sticks" temporarily which seem to hold for a few days, but what would be a better/stronger solution - "No More Nails"? PS: Cabinet is not short/wide but pic has stretched. Can't work out how to correct that at the mo! |

(maybe a remix of this rotary encoder mount or a rectangular switch frame that mounts on the cab using screws?) --- Quote from: EssexMame on September 27, 2021, 07:02:39 am ---PS: Cabinet is not short/wide but pic has stretched.
