Take No Quarter - Whoops....
mgb:
progress is looking great
Monkeyvoodoo:
I think I'm just going to scrap the cabinet and live with this:
Kidding of course. Trying to get a feel for the button layout. I find it spaced out a bit too much for my comfort. I will have to play with it a bit, maybe tighten up the spacing.
Picking up the needed laminate either Friday or Monday and applying it the following weekend.
I also discovered a choice in material mistake. I made all the panels out 5/8 ply (original cabinet was 3/4.) It's not an issue structurally but I'm having difficulty finding 5/8 chrome t-molding. I've googled it and can only find it through happ suzo but I'm not a big fan of their shipping charges. Has anyone found said t-molding before?
I've thought about abandoning the chrome completely but I can't think of a replacement colour aside from black and black has no pop.
One last thing with regards to providing zback measurements: I have them finally but what would be preferred; sketchup, autocad or illustrator?

Divemaster127 has 5/8" chrome here in 25 foot lengths.
T-Molding.com carries 5/8" white here and 5/8" black + chrome here.
Have you considered 3/4" orange trimmed to 5/8" using an edge trimmer?
ArcadeWorldUK has 15mm chrome molding here and 15mm red here. (5/8" = 15.875mm)

Monkeyvoodoo:
I've hit the wall with my cabinet. Not sure when I'll be returning to it. At the moment I'm torn between junking it or forcing my way through to a finish and just selling it off.
mgb:
What? Why?
I know sometimes things can go wrong and make you wanna
quit but if that's the case, sleep on it for a little while and come back fresh
in a month or two.
Some obstacles seem real high and then out of the blue, the solution can hit you.
I was building my cab with what I thought was a great design. I hit
a wall and I was like oh well I'm dropping out of it and gave it a while.
I remember being at the drug store with my wife and there was this add for lipstick.
The great looking model with pink lipstick, she was beautiful but all I could think of was
a joystick ball top. I'm not sure why but anyway that put me right back in with a completely
new game plan and I'm happy how it turned out.
