The Gold Mine
Santoro:
Hey, congratulations on that fantastic joinery (jointery?) That construction looks really solid.
I like the design as well. Can't wait to see it with the Control Panel.
And, yes, most on here are overly obsessed with digital pictures. PaigeOliver will attest to that. :)
Keep up the good work.

Extremely nice so far, and I like how the pictures are nice and clear now! I still like the name blurry cab though!
I like the design of your rotating monitor- it seems simpler than other ones ive seen on this site. Is the rotating action pretty smooth on it now? Does it take a lot of effort to rotate it.
KrawDaddy:
Hey
It takes very little effort at all, very smooth, Id like to say it only took one finger but its a couple of pounds of pressure. regardless, it is still extremely easy to move. Well worth the work! Later I should be able to adapt a motor to it. I beleive the design actually belongs to Mr Salty from some years back.

Since I decided to use a 27 inch monitor, I grossly enlarged the wheel to support the monitor. It is very strong and does not bend when picked up. It could have possibly been made smaller but it wasnt worth the worry.
Have others set up rotating monitors of this size?
Kind Regards\

Sharp looking cab K.D. Just for the record though the laminate you are planning to use on your cab is called "Formica" not vermica. ;). Can't wait to see the cab when its finished. Kudos for breaking away from the typical upright design and creating a different look. :)

Very nice woodworking, that's good to see. Nice execution on the design too!
