Red sky in the morning, sailors warning! Looks great so far. I wish at times I was as meticulous as you. I can be but I have to force myself. But I do finish my projects. I swear the next big cab I build I'm gonna laminate the whole thing. I hate to paint.

About how much did that birch run you per board if you don't mind me asking?

Keep it up man. Looking great!

It's eerie how similar our construction is. Granted, yours is plywood, and a bit cleaner. I used carriage bolts in pretty much the exact same way to hold down my control panel.

Oh hey look!.... An update.

My plan of attack is simple. Finish the wood, then use Rust-oleum painters touch. One or two base coats, depending on coverage. Then two to three coats of black on any of the external panels, and then a coat of satin varnish. Proper sanding between coats. Any of the internal sections will get a simple base coat of primer and a single coat of black, simple.

Are you gonna paint that big ass cabinet with 3 cans of paint? You better get about 15.

I also plan on leaving the t-moulding slots bare. So I split some masking tape and covered the slots along the side panels and cp edge. You have no idea how hard it is to find ½" masking tape. The ¾" stuff had to do. And it worked well. There's no real reason for painting the sides other than I want a nice black edge just in case I don't get good coverage with the molding and the side art.

Not a bad idea I didn't do that and I about never got the T molding in

I pretty much left it at that for the night. My next step will be to sand and prep all the surfaces. I picked up a new 5" orbital sander and some discs to help with the job. I wanted to get an idea of coverage a couple weeks ago so I slowly painted a test piece. I was quite happy with the finish and can't wait to do the whole cab.

I use this sander a lot http://www.target.com/p/black-decker-mouse-detail-sander-with-dust-colts/-/A-12445486?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=12445486&CPNG=Unassigned&kpid=12445486&LID=13pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=12445486&gclid=CN6ozZLYjb8CFbRj7AodZUAA3w it is good for getting back into tight spots

Check out my updated artwork draft for my pin that Brad did on my project page it looks awesome. Your build is awesome Chance I can't wait to see it finished.

I try to do this on all my builds, too.

Just played catch up with this thread, making great leaps in the progress! I love the barstool, really takes it over the top.

I nee to make me a paint booth like that for my garage.

Go Massa/Bottas/Williams!

They squandered their pole, but great finish for them.

Also, Nico rocks!

I do like McLaren...Button's a great dude but he's having trouble with the new tech...not enough downforce for his type of driving. Hate Ferrari, but love Kimi and respect the hell out of Alonso.

I say bring back the V10s. I saw them at the Can GP at CGP in Montreal in '01 and they were amazing.

I am a medical professional and if you squander your pole you will go blind just like your mother said you would.

Senna? But, why? Because the steering column wasn't welded properly (even though it shouldn't have been welded to begin with)? Or because they fecked up the rear-end geometry so it hit the track just ahead of Tamburello?

I'm not sure RBR was scrutinized properly during their 4 WCs. Something about how they were able to accelerate out of corners when everyone wasn't was a bit funny.

Yeah. Webber rocks. I was hoping to see him get a WC before he retired, but the German/Austrian sponsors wouldn't let that happen...now would they? *cough,cough...redbullisaustrian...cough,cough*.

I really want to see Massa back. Taking that spring to the forehead at ~178mph was almost his death. Then to have Ferrari baste him with team orders, let Alonso take point after point after clearly being slower, then let him go....I want to see him put his foot right up Stefano's ass for that this year.

What does all this talk have to do with the kickstand on the back of this cabinet?
