 I'm UK based too, not the worlds greatest carpenter and working out exactly how much woodwork I need to get it looking good.

I think most people route the t-molding groove before they assemble the cab - therefore most cabs will look a bit odd before the t-molding is fitted due to the groove all the way around the side panels.

Seriously tho, routing the groove is easy - I had never used a router before and I did the whole lot in 20 minutes.  The hardest part was finding the correct bit for the router...

Hmm, ok theres another argument gone against me actually getting round to building this thing.... I've got the controls, the mouse hacks, the hacked trackballs (some wierd Atari-copies designed for PSX), the 4P Ipac, the frontend (thanking you Minwah), the monitor.......

...beginning to run out of excuses! If only I actually had some room to do this thing without covering my kitchen in sawdust.....

This is what I came up with:













and the best of it is that you make your own mesures by adding or removing washers (for changing the distance from the border) and using diferent sizes (for changing th deep of the cut) ...  :)

Nice one - I can see how you CP would look a lot smoother when the T-m is on...

Is that head with the washers a standard router bit, or something you knocked together? Apologies for the obvious ignorance.....

I know what you mean...I had to start building mine after a few years thinking about it  ::)  I have to drive ~12 miles of country lanes to the shed I'm working in...in English winter its pretty off-putting having to spend an hour driving each nite, not to mention working in an unheated garage.  I went on my way home from work today tho, switched the thing on for the first time!  ;D  (Played with keyboard as CP not quite ready yet tho...)
