Newcomer questions :D
tist:
thanks for the replies, but ya im definately not going to buy any pre-built cabs. building it is half the fun haha. since the routers would most likely be expensive to rent as well, i may just buy one or find one a friend may have by chance. as for construction, i don't want to rush it. but the reason asking for whether it could be finished in a day is because i was going to rent a router.

tist, are you dyslexic? ;D

I know you said you want to build it but, personally, I agree with pointdablame. Buying a cab was easier, cheaper and much more expedient and I'm glad I did.
Arcade projects are those kind of projects that never seem to be quite 100% completed. There's frequently just one more change here or there that you want to make. I've been working on my upright for a couple years now and it's still not 'done'. I can't imagine how much LESS 'done' it would be if I built it from scratch.
If you have access to tools, space, friends etc, then I think building is cool. But with all the cutting, clamping, gluing, sanding, painting, sanding again, and more that's required, I'm very happy that I bought a used cab.

Definitely do. Start a thread in the Project Announcements forum and take everybody through your process. It's amazing how much people learn and are inspired by the projects in there.
Good luck and welcome to BYOAC!
