Where did/are you building your MAME cabinet?

I built the one on my website mostly in the yard, but I did the cuts in my workshop and the assembly in my livingroom. I still need to put some kind of finish on it.

Dad's workshop, but it's not in a garage - even though we're southerners  :)

Dang thing nearly drove us crazy - we started it last winter and the side panels were so big we had to keep the doors to the shop open to have room to move around the board for cutting (3/4" plywood).  Very cold.  However, it's coming along pretty nice.  Needs some tweaking but overall pretty good.

Well, OK...my wife and I actually LOVE OURS the way it is.

Cut and routed MDF in the back garden the neighbours got the dust  ;D it was windy. Dragged it through the house to my spare bedroom, screwed it together and painted it (and the carpet) in there.
Burnt a hole in the freshly painted carpet. I knocked over the soldering iron while I was crouched in the cab and didn't notice until cab filled with foul smelling smoke.
Bashed the doorframe several times getting the panels into the room.
Must be nice to have a garage :P

I built my first one in the living rom of my apartment.  I always had something going on in there.  Portable table saw, router, skill saw, whatever... I just did it.

Same as a lot of other guys on these forums: Right on the tile/carpet of their living room. My first cab was built/refurbed in my apartment in Biloxi, the second was done over the first part of '05 in the tiled livingroom of my flat in Belgium.

Any work I did on it came with a certain degree of paranoia. Whatever I did, I didnt want to drop something and break a tile, or I'd lose my deposit... ::) Luckily, nothing was damaged.
