Im about to embark on the construction of my UAII cabinet but before i start i was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips or ideas or problems that you might have encountered in the construction of your UAII cabs??

Many Thanks - Marky

Buying the paper cut outs saved alot of time.  The plans and templates seem to be only "suggestions" as I found a number of places I either wnated to modify or were lacking in detailed info so I made modifications.  The CP design was lacking, consider modeling it on the parabolic curve of the slikstik quad.  UAII cabs seem extra wide I had to disassemble multiple parts I had not expected to in order to get it closer to where I wanted it.

When making the keyboard drawer, do yourself a favor and get full extension cabinet hardware, otherwise the drawer will be halfway under the cp when you pull it out.

I didn't have any problems with the plan cutouts I did for my brother, but if I had to do it over again I'd just pay for the precut wood they sell on their site. Maybe it's because I already cut so much wood for my own custom design, but I wish I had saved the time by buying things pre-cut. That also would have reduced any human error, where my measurements were off slightly on occasion.

I am finishing up the final touches on my AUII cab and I built it from the plans. What it boils down to is do you have the tools to do the job. If you don't and you don't have much woodworking experience then definetly buy the precuts. If you have some skills you should be fine, but plan on a couple of weekends and get some help you can do it alone unless you own a woodworking shop. The hardest part I had was the angle cuts, there are not many but since I was using just a circular saw and not a table saw it was a little tricky. I had to make some minor modifications but who cares it still looks the same. The one best piece of advise I can give is BE PATIENT and do it right the first time or you will be doing it wrong the 3rd and 4th time too...
