You won't need a CAD program. Like i said just take the PDF files to a staples and have them print them on the largest roll printer they have. Use those wood panels you bought for the CP or something. overall I used three, 4x8 sheets of cabinet grade ply that cost like $75 a sheet. It's not cheap. But remember you'll have a better end result if you avoid cutting corners (literally).

Here are the rough dimensions minus a 4° tilt in the CP ledge and the rounded corners. You'll find both of those in the PDF.

cool man, looks like with the wood I got I will only be missing that small 2 1/4" angled ledge right under the CP. I think I will be alright with that.

Hey Chance.... hopefully you see this, got a ? for ya.

In your thread before you began you had 2 sets of side panel plans.
Im using the set that didnt have the ledge below the control panel because that ledgeless design fits my 20" x 6ft sheets of pine perfect.

Anyway... before I cut I just want to make sure a 32" lcd will fit in here.
All the height dimensions on most 32" tv's Ive looked at have a height of around 20" but the plans call for 1' 6 7/16" ... or 18 7/16"

Just want to make sure a 32" lcd with 20" will fit in there. I know the panel will be recessed back a bit and that might buy an inch or two.... just wanted to double check.

Or if anyone else can chime in its appreciated.

oh..... in the pic I got 20" pulled out on the tape for reference to height of standard 32" displays.

edit.....sorry---my stupid phone is uploading the pics 90* off

The height of the cab (in this case) will have zero issues with the display. Make a cardboard cutout of the thickness and height of your display and place it on top of your sheet of wood.

Im not sure which exact 32" model I will get yet but most heights ive looked at range from 19-20"
The angled display length part of the panel is 18 7/16" im guessing it will work fine as the bezel of the tv will be hidden.

Will probably get the tv this weekend.
I need to get more wood,castors, and a few things.....
I hope to make some progress this weekend

Is there dimensions or plans for the control panel anywhere?
Are they in your cad files?

Thanks
