MDF ??
ian_d:
Hi Guys,
Im just about to start my project, but have found out that the biggest sheet of MDF available here in Sydney is 2400mm x 1200mm
do i need to make any adjustments in the measurements ? Im planning on building the plans from the book
Thanks
Ian

My rough conversion shows the plans for the cabinet sides to be approximately 2000mm tall by 910mm wide, so you will be fine.

I used 2400x1200 sheets for my LuSiD-based cab. On the "design" page you can download the metric plans in PDF, and see how much waste you can roughly expect from each sheet:

As above, 2400x1200 is fine.

inches X 25.4=mm

Thanks Guys
Im off to the hardware store on Sat, found out today that they can make cuts for $1, although i thought that this was expencive at first, it does pay for any mistakes im sure to make, so im going to have a good look at the plans and decide on how many to get done.
I Figure that this takes the error out of things, saves money on tools i dont have, makes transport easier, build time quicker etc etc (should cost $15 max)
I Cant wait to get stuck into this project, i will take photos on the way, and post them here (if successfull)
Saint - Thanks for writing the book, and sorry for originally posting this in the wrong forum.
My kids (aged 8 & 6) love and cant wait for this project, so if all goes well im planing a mini cab for them - just dont tell the Mrs !!
Great forum, i have learnt so much, but still have pleanty to learn. I only found this forum about a month ago, and id never dreamed about building an arcade game before now .......... well cant wait to start, buying the book was a great start
I will probably still need some help wilh CP layout, Artwork and set up (to name a few) so i appoligise in advance for all the dumb questions
Gee, i wish i lived in the US as it seems you guys are really catered for, there is nothing here in sydney (apart from a big bridge and an Opera house!)
'Thanks
