I'm assuming that was a kit?  If so, who sells it & what'd it cost you.  If not, you're an awesome carpenter.  If only all builds went that fast.  Thanks for the video.

Cheers.

It kind of a kitset I suppose.
I took some plans to a cabinet maker and we spent the day drawing it up on his PC using some VERY expensive software. All the joints are mortise and tenon which means a male and female sytem  ;D
You just put glue in the slot  ;D and insert the male  ;D  >:D and clamp overnight.
No screws required.

It cost quite a bit to set up, but after a couple of test cabinets we got it right. Now I can ring and order 5 cabinets, jump in my car after a coffee and by the time I get there they are all cut out on his CNC machine. And they are 100% perfect!

Unfortunately it would cost me too much to ship them to you guys, but I would love too if I could. Here is a picture of a completed one in black.



Thanks again.

I was actually thinking of doing a proper guide but It would be too long so I made this small clips instead.
I might do some short clips on some of the next machines.

Very nice cab. Are the plans available online or would you be willing to share them?

Sorry, but all the plans are on his PCs.
The program he uses and it is VERY VERY expensive. Tens of thousands of dollars.

I'm actually wondering if the time comes when I move to a new city who owns the plans? Me, because I paid for it, or him?

I just hope its me!  :hissy:

I hope he lets you have the plans as well...

I actually was interested in just getting a rough set of dimensions.  Height, Width, Depth, Control panel size and layout.  I'd be happy draw them up in Solidworks and send or post the drawings afterwards

Totally wrong! Yer cityfolks always think that ye can do thangs  better  ;D Mine is much more playabelbel.

Wish list: Galaga, Pacman, Pooyan, Star Wars cockpit, Gauntlet, Tron

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Haha, mate thats what you get for showing off how perfect your cabs always turn out :)

Since you don't have to put the same amount of effort into your cabinets we'll put you through some pain on details, plans & videos.  :P
