Accurate Gauntlet Cab Measurements
« on: October 20, 2005, 10:54:22 pm »
Hi, I am building a Gauntlet Cabinet as my current project, however there are no accurate plans available.

I was starting to do cutting for my cabinet using jakobud's gauntlet plans, unfortunately when I took a close look at them, I could tell they were inaccurate. They are definitely very nice plans, but I am in need of 100% accurate measurements because I am a perfectionist

I don't see any angle on the top.

my mom has a cabinet but I probably won't go check it out until next weekend.  I'll check on it if nobody else has replied by then.

The Gauntlet cab definitely has a small angle on the top.

slight angles are difficult to judge in photographs, especiall photographs taken from an oblique angle.

I'd appreciate anyone who could measure their cab for me!

I'll will probably try the German company this next week, hopefully they could help out.
