Original UK & Aussie Cocktail Cab Question

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Hi,
I'm building myself a UK/Aussie style Cocktail Cabinet as second-hand ones are expensive and rare in Australia.  Someone has donated a spare original lid they had  (thanks Carl!) which I would love to incorporate into my cabinet  I have a couple of questions on the attached picture of the lid which someone may be able to answer.
1.  Does anyone know what the groove around outside of the top face of the lid is for?  I presume it originally had some kind of rubber or foam in this groove to site the glass on?
2.  The lid is missing 2 of the 4 corner glass clips shown in the picture.  Does anybody have a couple of spare ones I could buy, or know anywhere I can get some to match?
Thanks

From your post title, i'll assume your a fellow Aussie - Gday - Dunno about the groove, but the corner clips I have seen at my local Bunnings Warehouse. Heres a link to a thread I started on this most excellent cab

Theres a link in there from CaptainPotato for a site a guy put up with all the measurements for this. I emailed him and he was quite frendly and willing to help/answer questions. Drop him a line and he might be able to answer your question.

Let me know if this helps. By they way, if you have any plans your willing to share, I would be most appreciated, as this is going to be my next cab build (after a replica of Junes Jukebox :d) - are you going to do your CP like the origonal or stick a box on the side?

I'm off to Bunnings tomorrow, glass clip in hand!  Yep, I've been onto that site and be in touch with the guy who has been extremely helpful.  I'm in the process of producing full build drawings for a new cabinet based on his original (with a few mod's to make in more buildable in my home workshop, but still relatively authentic).  These will be posted when they are complete and have been tested on my own new cabinet.  Probably in the new year. . . . .
Thanks for your assistance.

All Aussie MAME'ers bow before your awesome might "we're not worthy, we're not . . ."

No, seriously, I would love a copy of your plans once they are complete. I seriously want once of those cabs next, after I finish a copy of June's Jukebox, which is after I finish my first cab (only a week to go!).

Would you be so kind as to PM me once your plans are complete? Thanks in advance, best of luck.

No problem.
