What was the hardest part for you when building a machine?
Rom:
I think the hardest part is setting the design in stone. On more than one occasion while making my cabinet I would find somthing that didn't feel right so ended up making a change which would inevitably set me back a day or two. Even though I had spent weeks on designing it on paper I've found that without it actually being in front of you, there are some things which don't work out as you would of expected.
At this moment in time the hardest part is deciding what colour to paint it. I've narrowed it down to 2 options but still don't really know.

Finding time away from the family to actually WORK on the projects. The rest has been pretty easy.

I'm planning a rotating monitor. I'm a little scared.
From what I hear, a rotating monitor will take about 50% of the total time that it takes to finish the cab.
Construction will begin in the coming weeks. Can't wait for the challenge.
(Oh, and I've decided to outsource the button holes in my metal cp)

Building control panels is the single most time consuming thing in my experience. I'm an expert and it takes a while. Everything else is a piece of cake.
SNAAAKE:
Uh..the control panel is fairly complicated since I am never happy unless things are perfect ! :D
Installing t-molding is annoying too(had to use hot glue).
