Did your cab turn out better than you expected?

How come the last lap seems longer than the rest?

I'm still trying to finish up my cab.

I've made some minor mistakes; but overall, I think its better than I expected.
The only woodworking skill I have is 7 grade woodshop class  :P

One think about woodworking comparing to software is you cant go back and correct your mistakes easily.  So like what everyone says, "Measure Twice, Cut Once".  Luckly, I had space wood.

Stingray:

Turned out about as well as I expected. Given the benefit of hindsight, I may have done some things differently.

Nope... because I see someone elses cab before I finish any project and want to do that next....

Also, function of looks always... So I have a bunch of parts that I should cleanup just for cosmentic reasons.

but my hotswappable control panels are pretty freaken cool still.  I have to setup a website to show them.  Every time I swap them without plugs, screws or anything and they work, gives me goosebumps...

Of course I really need to get my frontend working with joysticks so I can actually use most of my control panels to control...the...frontend... :(

i've been a bit like that - got my videomaster jamma cab a fews months ago coz i couldnt wait - i was gonna make one. now i've had the videomaster a while i want to make a  dedicated cab (defender). the only difference is that it's gonna have 6 buttons - i might make two cp's so i've got a defender lookalike cp.

just something though about generic cabs that make them second best to dedicated cabs

DaveMMR:

Although I just built an empty frame so far, it's far exceeded my expectations.  I can't cut or measure properly, I'm spastic beyond belief, and I've been known to complete abandon projects, but the little I have is something I never thought would look half as good as it did.  Of course I should stop gloating - it's only three pieces of wood screwed in together so far.  I'll let you know if I have the same sentiments further on down the road.
