You have skills and this should be a fun project to watch. I would suggest you host your pictures on the BYOAC site. We have had a lot of project threads destroyed when third party hosting went away. |

Hadn't seen that done before. --- Quote from: yotsuya on January 08, 2018, 05:50:59 pm --- --- Quote from: wp34 on January 08, 2018, 05:38:43 pm ---Cabinet looks good so far. I've never tried pattern-routing a panel that big with a router table. How does that compare to using a hand router? You have a very nice looking workshop. This does not seem like your first woodworking rodeo. Keep the pics coming. :cheers: --- End quote --- It’s not a table, he’s using a jig. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- Ok, I see that now. Wow, yer right!! :cheers: |

I've always liked threads with lots of pics.. So I'll keep adding them. If anyone ever wants more detail - let me know. I have a lot of woodworking experience and happy to help. Last night I got a couple of small items done. Rear panel blocking with threaded inserts already in place.. I added the upper back panel in place. Its not necessary to have a nice tight fitting miter joint.. but it certainly looks nice. The marquee shelf went together quickly. I'm using a 15 deg tilt for the monitor. I've been using my table saw as a bench. The actual bench is covered with other parts. The easy way to line up the shelf is to clamp a straight edge in place.. Here are the threaded inserts.. Best way to make the holes is to use a 3/8" Forstner bit to drill a clean hole. Then screw them in.. 10-24 Machine screws with finish washers hold the shelf in place. I drilled the holes in the shelf at 1/4" to allow for some adjustment. Its nearly impossible to line the holes up perfectly otherwise. This stiffened it up a little bit.. I can't seem to figure out how to save the pictures to the forum and use them - If someone points me in the right direction I will do that. |

Tonight I added more holes to the cabinet. Below is a closeup of the hole jig for the router. It will cut any size hole in 1/16" increments up from 1". Drill a 1/8" hole and insert the pivot pin... To cut the hole - align the pin on the jig to the correct diameter - plunge and cut the hole. I saw a cabinet that had hand holds for tilting and rolling the case. They cost under $10 and I figured it was a simple addition. The speakers I chose came with a gift! They had the perfect sized trim rings that I could use as a template to cut out the speaker holes. I aligned them per my plans Before cutting them out on the router table - I removed the center to make less work for the router bit. Perfect oval .. I still need to decide if I will use grills or speaker fabric over the whole panel. These are very middle of the road speakers ($54) - I'm certain they will play Mame games just fine. If I have an ok background music jukebox mode, that will be an added bonus. Or maybe some more modern games with bigger sound at some point. |
