My friends, and they know who they are, get to see my build pictures. And I really enjoyed playing with this shape. I just wish Louis was still alive to see this progress that everyone is making.

I forgot to mount the top panel!

Anyway, I did that tonight. In front of the top panel I've routed a slot for T-molding. The panel is fastened with quite long srews through the side panel. Of course I predrilled the holes for the screws to avoid fu**ing it up more than necessary. Inside I have filled with a little acrylic. And yes, the monitor can still be mounted from the top.

He's not dead I hope.

Not physically dead, no.

Johnrt, I used pocket holes to fasten everything together. I was going to use dowels for the top, but just went with pocket holes on the bottom of it and fastened it that way. You can't see the holes unless you stoop to look for them.

You can't see my holes either. The screws are countersunk and then filled. Actually I fill them at least twice because the filling tend to sink a little.

Phrasing.
Boom.

I was gonna use wooden doweling for my top panel, an excuse to use the set of dowel & tenon centers i bought at Lee Valley Tools. Pocket holes are a great idea tho. Hmmm. I'm starting to be convinced that i can pull off a "wide body" version of this cab with a horizontal 19" that takes standard Nintendo Vs CP's.

LT's gonna come back one day and find a whole series of cabs in his namesake. haha.

Well, you can't see my holes either, but that's because I like the look of exposed fastners, especially the square drive pocket screw heads.

I vote for a stickied thread with all the Tully's in one spot.. for that matter I vote for a Vigolix series thread as well. No on the Weecade collection thread however.

Well, that's because it has been done a billion times. Hopefully the "Tully" will not suffer a similar fate.

I'm building using dowels as well (entire build) - thought it would save time on sanding / painting, but realising its just traded off one type of effort for another (if anything seems to be taking longer).

I agree, LT has inspire a whole range of new cab builds - I'm doing a wide as well (600mm) horizontal cab (dual player / 19" wide screen) to go with the 19" vertical I'm working on now - both my versions have storage under cab (one for a hidden beer fridge

).

I'm almost done painting it! I just need to paint the inner rim on the front black with a very fine brush.

Even a can of spray paint can work if you use it properly.

johnrt · « **Reply #97 on:** March 18, 2015, 06:51:46 am »

I'm gonna fix this manually with a tiny paint brush.

If it was a real "Tully" copy you'd use a ball point pen.

How are you doing the control panel? Where does it fit?

The control panel is to be fitted inside the cab, at the bottom...

No seriously: I have a plan. I'll show you later.

It belongs to a KLOV'er, (Phetishboy i think). I mistook it for a 2014 completed cab and nominated it for the 2014 UCA haha. It's brilliant.

I want.

ChanceKJ · « **Reply #105 on:** March 18, 2015, 02:40:23 pm »

Seriously John, What stops you from cutting a hole for the coin door, then cutting a new set of speaker slots to the right of it?

....I may know where you could get a door... On that side of the pond too.

Coin doors are for those with... coins... Well, I thought about it initially, but they are so expensive. And why do I need one? Alright I can understand the esthetics, but other than that? And normally I build bartops where the coin doors are not an option.

Ok, I could have mounted a square coin-button on the front, but where would that fit?

ChanceKJ · « **Reply #108 on:** March 18, 2015, 03:55:35 pm »

Your want two. Under the marquee, halfway to the grill. ⅓ of the way from each side.

Or just blow out the front for a door

Yeah, I know what you mean. Although it should have been done prior to painting the damn thing!

ChanceKJ · « **Reply #110 on:** March 18, 2015, 04:31:13 pm »

No, use a Forstner bit. Mark it off with a pencil, go slow, and when the point of the bit breaks through use it as a pilot to go in from the other side of the panel to eliminate blowout in the wood.

johnrt · « **Reply #111 on:** March 18, 2015, 04:58:15 pm »

I actually do possess two of these buttons. Here's a mockup:

Another option is to mount one in the marquee. I don't think that has been done before:

And in other news: The inner rim is painted with a tiny brush:

jdbailey1206 · « **Reply #112 on:** March 18, 2015, 05:13:46 pm »

Well John since you are building a full cab you need a full coin door. I would rather see no buttons as opposed to putting GGG's buttons on that gorgeous cab. Or just wait and save up for it and put it in later.

You've probably right you know... Another option is to skip the whole coin-button/door and install one of these:

ChanceKJ · « **Reply #114 on:** March 18, 2015, 05:24:45 pm »

You know, know that I see the buttons there, it looks like a face.

Honestly, I really think it's a coin door thing. Which isn't a bad thing, at all. If you want to do a door, I'd say get a Nintendo door and a couple faceplates from the AS740 mechs then do the button holder mod to them. It will save you money from buying mechs and the return buttons become cool coin up switches.

Still, I remeber seeing it from your thread first. Actually come to think of it it don't think I even read his. Hmmm

At any rate it's briliant if you just want a basic Nintendo door look without the added cost of mechs or "complexity" or quarters/tokens.
