I can't promise it won't get lost in the mail on the return trip back to you ;) |

My first cabinet was around $1300 in materials and parts. I was rather shocked by the cost of my jukebox project because so many of the costs in that one are upfront. I have about a grand into it and I haven't even started the cabinet part. I have one cabinet left in me, I have my 49 ways, my LED Wiz and some of the other components, but I am only making one more. I've built five now for friends and family and I just don't have anything left in the tank. |

Come on now, a router is great investment. I can't believe I built two cabinets without one. In less than 2 months, it has become my favorite tool. All you need are a few good straight bits, a pattern cutting bit and a round over bit and you will start to see places that you can use it. They can be used for a lot more than the t-molding slot! Anyway, I haven't kept track of any of my cabinets other than ones that were built to be for sale. It's a hobby that I have fun with; I takes some of the fun away to know how much you spent on the thing. |

Ok, let me see Rescued Cabinet...free Scrap Wood...free Cheap computer speaker amp...free Car speakers...salvaged from car I rolled over 2 years ago (free) Computer...$200 19" computer monitor...$100 after shipping HD...$20 Coin mech...$5 Buttons, joysticks, encoder...$110 Trackball...$30 Wire, disconnects, etc...$30 Paint...$10 So for a project I was aiming to be under $500 it is... $5 above. Wow that is absolutely amazing, I could have sworn I dropped more into it. I thought it was at least in the $800 range. Of course I've added wheels, I've repainted. I'm about to strip the body and repaint it again, and I have to clear coat it this time before I get around to using it again. So I'm sure it still will suck at least $200 out of me still. What's even better is we built a cocktail on the cheap for my bother for about $250 using old wood covered in veener, and various donated gifts. |
