So today I finally managed to cut many of the back, front and bottom panels. I'm using 15mm plywood. The woodshop has a saw for cutting the plywood sheets (see pic). So I got them to cut the sheet in three parts, 2 parts in 42cm width and the last part then turned out 38 cm. It's very precisely cut. So then my "Tully"'s inner width is 42 cm, the 38 cm spare one is for my Pole Position bartop. Nice planned! :-)

Enough rubbish, here's the pics:

Today I mounted the wheels and a handle. I'm sorry if I'm being too detailed about this project. I'm a slow builder.
This is the most accurate cab I've ever built. It's the fifth cab I'm building and I'm just starting to get the hang of it.

Here's todays pics:

Looks nice and clean. Jealous of the panel saw

And speaking of "the" Tully, where did all his posts go?

I'm not using a saw. I'm only using the router with a copy-bit. I love my router by now.

This saw! And I love my routers as well.

Edit: Where are you from. I'm located in Norway so if you're from the US, the P&P would cost a fortune!

Ah yes, I am in the states and on second thought I need something that doesn't show up on the reverse side anyway...

Still... Looking good so far

I was thinking about the Ufo Robo Dangar...

Anyway, I'm going overseas this summer for a Route66 trip for 3 weeks. Man, I'm looking forward to this!

Route 66 eh? Let me know if you're coming through Tulsa and need any local recommendations for food/accommodations or such.

Cool, lots of fun on Route 66, be sure to hit up one of these, I stayed in this one in Holbrook Arizona a few years back.:

Don't apologise for the detail, I'm building a "Tully" as well, and you are saving me a ton of rework

- I wasn't planning on using battens - this build has changed my approach.

The logo/typeface on that panel saw reminds me of this...

The old PMI Piranha logo from the early 2000's. I know, Serif fonts look like many other serif fonts... but thats just uncanny.

I'm planning a "Tully" style Nintendo cabaret, a "widebody" variant. This build will come in handy for me later this/next year.

A few? Judging by those cars, it was 60 or 70!

So today I made the Nintendo-style speaker grill, and I also did the marquee slot. This Nintendo-style grill is about 25% smaller than the original one. The original speaker-grill can be found at jakobud (http://jakobud.com/plan.php?id=7). Here is how you can do this without a CNC machine, using only a router and some ingenuity! DO A TEST RUN ON SOME SCRAP PIECE OF PLYWOOD!!!

The finished result. This is the back side.

The finished result front:

And this is the router bit. It's 6 mm straight bit.

johnrt · « **Reply #56 on:** February 21, 2015, 03:31:43 pm »

So today I finished the marquee area, made the hole for the power intake and started the assembly. Battens and panels are being glued and screwed together. I also rounded the bottom corners of the side panels. I did that by using an empty roll of tape and a router and then made a template. The template was then screwed on the side panels and the panels were routed. I have also received the speaker. This fits perfect over the speaker grill. Well, here's the pics.

Today I made the monitor "frame". And tested it with the monitor mounted both vertical and horizontal. The Lexan bezel will come a few cm higher than the monitor.

And now a question for you guys: What can I make the bezel around the monitor from? Cardboard? Foam? Do I need a bezel there at all? Any pictures out there from somebody who has done it before?

Well, here's today's pics:

Actually I don't. I just wanted the possibility to do that just in case.

If it's gonna be rotated it's has to be done manually. But that's ok.

Will you paint the board the monitor is mounted to?

You'll want something to distract from the monitor and hide its mounting. ~~Search~~ Read about the $2 bezel. Sometimes that is also referred to a monitor shroud I think; at least Star Wars has a cardboard monitor shroud and a crazy plastic dimensional bezel. What its call isn't as important as covering up the monitor.

Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for. Painting of monitor board depends on whether I'm able to hide it using a $2 bezel! Thanks!

Its amazing what they used to use. I know Track and Field had one and I needed to make one for my FFJR cab that was also in the DK cabs. Its amazing what a $7 piece of mat board can do for you.

johnrt · « **Reply #63 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:10:42 am »

After shoveling the snow yesterday, I cut the slots for the T-molding in my Tully. (Seriously, it has never been this little snow as far as I can remember). And now I've started priming the cab. Plan is to paint the underside, mount the wheels and then do the rest of the priming/painting. As usual the first stroke of primer revealed a lot of imperfections so there will be a lot of sanding, filling, sanding, filling...

Painting the back, inside, and bottom black. Rest will be Nintendo blue. I also paint the inside of the speaker grill black. I don't know why. Maybe there's a name for that disease.

About the side panels. I can't get them as smooth as I want them to be. The plywood itself won't let me. So I say: To hell with it! It's good enough.

What about just covering the sides with Vinyl vs trying to get smooth finish with paint ? (has worked for me) - liking your progress and detail (and like Yotsuya, I started cutting out my panels for my 'Tully' on the weekend)

+1 on the vinyl. But I can understand the frustration with sanding and painting plywood. Seriously tedious at the best of times.
