Thanks for the comment javeryh :cheers:

Managed to get out briefly after work to cut a couple of side pieces for the marquee section. I went a bit taller (5 cm) to avoid the marquee itself being too thin. I may review though.

I really like the look of the cabinet in this design. Feels very futuristic to me. Your previous projects in your signature look amazing so I can't wait to see what this turns out like. Only thought would be a tipping concern based on how much the CP is standing out in your sketch. I know MDF is heavy stuff, but still looks like it would easily tip to me. How do you plan to counter balance it?

Thanks for the kind words, appreciated :cheers: You got me thinking about this! Without the CP, there will be substantially more mass to the aft of the cab based on where the middle of the base is.

The CP will have relatively little mass. I believe the only way this would tilt realistically in a real world situation is if I sat on the end of the CP!

Edit:

After thinking about this further, I realised it's about the fulcrum (the green dot).

I'd need to apply sufficient downward force to lift up pretty much the entire weight of the cabinet. I think the lever (the CP) would need to extend much further for tilting to become an issue.
