Wall Cabinet Critique

[rablack97]

Oh well, not sure why you'd come to a forum and ask for critiques, and disclose your build can't be what you want it to be due to the Mrs.

The Mrs. is designing it for ya TBH what we say doesn't really matter.

Anywho good luck with your build...........

[wp34]

The dude has made a total of 10 posts and that somehow gives us an insight into his marriage?  He came here looking for advice on his cabinet and was very open to criticism and feedback.  I doubt he was looking for relationship advice.

[yotsuya]

THAT was too much drama?

[leapinlew]

Guy asks for critique for his cabinet, not his marriage. Want to know where things got sideways?

my wife would never let me.

Dude. You need to establish the correct pecking order.

happy wife == happy life

Truthfully, I feel like I won the wife lottery.

A quip was made about his wife, and he shrugs it off. If you said this to me, I would be annoyed, but I could let it slide. I could see where you would mistakenly think I was in some power struggle in my marriage.

Needing permission for your expenditures sounds awesome. You are living the dream.

You deserve a punch in the jaw. Dude... too far. What's he supposed to say next? Is he supposed to justify his marriage to you? It's one of those times you should back away and let the dude be happy with his wife and get back to his cabinet design.

You were a little too harsh too. You may have been reading a bit too much into his relationship....

Personally, I don't really care how much % of the house you have and how much she has in a thread not related to your cabinet. OP just wanted to know what you thought of his wall cabinet. I didn't read the part where he wanted to be psycho-analyzed by a bunch of middle aged classic arcade nerds.

You want my address Lew?

[Mike A]

I think the happy wife happy life thing is stupid. I will say what I damn well please about it. He doesn't have to justify anything to me. He said to each his own and I was done.

[opt2not]

You deserve a punch in the jaw.

Ok, now this is legit drama.

[leapinlew]

You think you can say whatever you want, but if you say that kinda crap in person with the same loathing tone as you do online, you deserve whatever you get. You can say whatever you want, but there are consequences. I'd respect you more if you said something like "Yeah, I may have got carried away with that", but instead you're going to double down, thump your chest and say "I can say what I damn well please"? Yeah, you're the victim. 

You act like "We don't run off new users. Heck, all we did was insult his wife, their marriage and manhood. It's not our fault they can't take a joke!"

Whatever man.

I don't want your respect. Also it wasn't a joke. I meant it. I would tell him to his face. Same with you. I don't care what other people think. Your threat of physical violence exposes your hypocrisy.

[opt2not]

So... is this where the circle-jerk is at?

That one was bad. To be honest, though, I really didn’t think this one called for face-punching.

Bro aren't you psycho analyzing the thread?

2nd, I'm nowhere close to being a middle class arcade nerd, i just like to build ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

3rd, if you would get off your tampon you would see where we were going with conversation.   Don't come in here asking for advice when your mind is already made up.  Nothing we said would of mattered, so the meat of the conversation was dont let you wife influence your build.

If he is building it with her specs, why the hell ask us?

I've seen way worse man banter in here, and those that overlooked the comments and took the advice did some great things.

Nerd I am not but a damn man I am, and dont recall asking for permission to voice my opinion.

Go read the first post the OP opened the thread with dont hold back positive or negative, so that's exactly what was done.

Damn forum is getting Charmin soft, waaaa waaaa booo hooo, man up people.  It's just a freakin hobby.

[wp34]

That's fair.  But Lew's post was 100% dead-on golf clap material aside from the face-punch suggestion.

That thread was titled “spouse approval” and was about needing your spouses approval.
This is a thread titled “wall cabinet critique” And is about spouse approval.

I said middle aged not middle class. I would never assume you were that high class.

Anyhow, I look forward to your next Dr. Phil moment.

Someone just recommend he buy this and then the circle can be unbroken....



To the OP.... you’ve got plenty of good advice here. Just ignore the side conversation. Keep us posted, and don’t punch anyone.

Looking forward to your next feminine napkin commercial

[rablack97]

Yep leapinlew has all the answers.....the rest of us don't know ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Who's bringing the wine and cheese to the next gathering?

[Mike A]

Yeah. The guy threatening physical violence gets to call other people bullies.

[leapinlew]

....the rest of us don't know ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

You don’t speak for everyone, but you can definitely say that about yourself.

[rablack97]

fair enough, your having a heavy flow and cramping, lashing out is a symptom of PMS.

Might wanna build something or did you forget how to, been over a decade hasn't it, back when arcades weren't classic.

[leapinlew]

Yeah. The guy threatening physical violence gets to call other people bullies.

Its simple dude. You had gone too far. If you don’t see that, I don’t know how this won’t happen again.

Let me demonstrate how this works....

In hindsight, I wish I hadn’t said the punch-in-the-jaw comment. I said it to emphasize how out of line things were getting. Ultimately it was a distraction and overall hurt my message. I’m sorry Mike. I’ll try to refrain from that level of unprofessionalism.

And look at that... i acknowledged a mistake and I’m still alive.

I guess you want to get into some sort of internet fight? So, how does this work. You are calling me a woman? What’s the insult part again?

I’m not even kidding right now, you’re terrible at this.

Dude, its called banter........we are in a forum that's male dominated.  Just like our back and forth, two guys talking ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, that's it that all. 

No harm no foul.  It's not personal and shouldnt be taken that way.....There is no tooooooo far in a forum, who the hell made up that rule.  Its free will open forum, nobody forces you to login in and sign on, when you do get ready for all sorts of opinions etc.

If it struck a nerve with you, why didnt you just give advice and get the thread back on track?

Instead of attacking grown ass mens opinions, more than likely we would of followed suit.

Regardless I was just giving you a hard time, nothing personal....

I must not be too bad at it your acknowledging and responding to it aren't you...the reward is im wasting your time 

[Nephasth]

It's human nature to bend those who oppose to our will. Don't like what you read, Lew? By all means tell everybody they should think and behave as you say they should. 
"Went to far"? I disagree, you just get offended too easily.

[opt2not]

So... thread lock?

[leapinlew]

I’d like to see it stay open in the hopes that the OP returns.

[Laythe]

Thanks to those that gave me some constructive input but I think I'm done with this. Too much drama.

I'm guessing I can count as "those", so - sure thing, man.   Hope we were able to help a little.  Sorry about what ended up happening.

[Mike A]

The one thing I regret is that this thread turned into garbage. I do apologize for my part in that.

[Ond]

There's nothing here a mod clean up wouldn't fix.  Mods, clean up on aisle 5!  Hmmm, so what's really the issue?  I don't understand what the big deal is about building a cab that's not attached to a wall?  If your wife really objects to anything but a wall mounted unit I'd be interested in the reasons. Not that there's anything particularly that bad about it but some good points have been raised by members about why it's impractical.  You asked for that feedback and got it.  If this thread survives, if you can get past the tone/netspeak of some members, I will help you with your design.  A free photo real concept render from your spec should you choose to accept it.  This offer will self-destruct in 24 hrs from my post’s time stamp.

Take the offer, OP.

[rablack97]

Here's my apology for the thread derail....yes OP take that offer

To keep things on track..

I like the design (although not sure about the purpose of the bit below the CP as if anything, it reduces stool space). I'm a bit biased though as I think wall hanging cabinets can look really good if the design melds it to the wall and doesn't just look like it's hanging there.

A marquee would definitely add to it. If you wanted to light it - bearing in mind how little depth there is at that point you could use EL tape or diffused LED's. Or just not light it. Either way, something in keeping with the design of the cab.

Standing that close to the wall is a nugatory point. You'll be looking at the space in front of you, i.e. the display/controls. I always build cabs as slim as possible (space is an issue) and I can honestly say it's never occurred to me that it's a problem.

Welcome to the forum chap. New ideas are always welcome.
