If I understand your "mistake" I made the same one on my Tron cabinet with my speaker openings. I'm the only one that notices but I see it every...dang...time. ;D

Oh no I did not need to read this... I made a second panel because I'm slightly mad and just have to cut out the openings if I really want to get that 3/4" back.

What do you guys think? I'm sure you can picture it - the CP will rest on top of this panel (above the dynamic marquee) and add 3/4" due to the thickness of the panel BUT I am planning on rounding over that edge so it's not quite 3/4" at least to the eyes. I could do a full roundover or a slight roundover or anything in between. After effing it up I started rationalizing it in my head and I'm actually thinking it might look better with the even border all the way around on that panel with the rounded over piece sitting on top. I will have that tough polycarbonite artwork for the CP so it can be any color I want - I could make it black to try and blend it or maybe white to highlight it (and it would make the uniformity of the front panel even more pronounced). I keep going back and forth, which probably means it doesn't actually matter but this is the stuff I get hung up on all the time.

Thanks - I'm still pretty mad at myself. You can see the blood stain in the upper left corner of the panel on the back. I'm going to paint over it but I'm thinking about adding a drop of red paint to that location as a reminder.

Well, I learned today that double sided tape is stronger than the contact cement bond. Completely ruined the front panel and the panel I had glued up to it. I think I'm going to take a break from this project for a while before redoing this for a third time.

I should have known - thought I was being smart by adding a caul to the glue up so the clamps wouldn't dent the piece. I used the tape for the bottom one... oh well.

Ugh.
