Did your cab turn out better than you expected?

i had ZERO wood working skill and ZERO painting skills, and its looking pretty good if you ask me.  my paint looked aweful so i sprayed a very very little bit of this imitation stone texture stuff and its looking amazing =)
not to mention half my wood is acctually wood filler....  its still hard for me to believe.

Well, I wasn't NEARLY as ambitious as y'all and just made a nice two-player CP (with trackball, spinner, and (probably overkill) 7 buttons per player).  It fit nicely into a trunk I had for storage, and reused some Pergo flooring for a nice and VERY durable woodgrain finish.  Turned out a heck of a lot better than I had expected (and a ton of fun to boot!).

Ahhh, and that there is at long last, the most important thing!

One word - YES!!  ;D

When we started, I had no idea that I would develop the skills to make it look like it does now.  It's a beaut, even if (for the moment) it is still unfinished (lacks side art, marquee...I need to add the pics of the door and bezel).

My wife (who is good with tools) and my father left me to it once the sides were on, and so 90 percent or so (give or take) I did with no help at all.  I had - HAD - no woodworking skills at all until this.  So yes, very surprised!!

Agree with all the zero wood working skill posts.  You learn a great deal about wood working (and many other skill) building a cab.  It takes a ton of time, research and it can get expensive, but anyone can do it.  After a year, I was very satisfied with my cab and I've become very handy with a router.
