It sits 1 3/4" above the bottom of the side panels, all the way around. I guess if it's supposed to have metal feet in the wooden feet, then the side panels wouldn't be resting directly on the floor like mine is.

Don't know if this was included in the plans for the sides, but there is an indent in the bottom of the side panels, about 3/8" up and centered in the side wall base. You can kind of see what I mean in the last pic posted.

Sorry it took so long.

According to the red lines, the sides of the coin door area slip under the bottom as extra support in the middle. They touch the floor and rise up to be attached to the base, and the base extends between them to be attached to them. Sorry if that sounds confusing.

Makes sense considering all the weight it supports, that's probably the most heavily loaded point on the cabinet.

The white outline of the base extends under (when looking from underneath) these supports and is difficult to measure accurately, so I may be off by as much as 1/8".

The white square on the left is a wooden foot. It measures 2" x 2" x 1 1/2", which is interesting because it is only 1 1/2" high and the base sits 1 3/4" off the floor. There is a hole in the wood so maybe it had a metal foot at some point? Obviously I am missing the other feet and have marked their positions with the circles. Don't know as they need to be exact in placement, but if so, let me know.

I'm sure it had leveling feet at one point, I've yet to see an original cab that shipped without them. I can import the pic and determine the layout for them so we should be good to go.

The green shows how to properly position the power switch/cord holes. Measure down from the back corner, then out at a 90 degree angle to the center point of the hole.

I understand now why they moved the on/off switch on your cab, you'd have to pull it out from the wall and crawl around on the floor to use the original.

Anything else?

You got us a great reference pic, some hard numbers to work with, and discovered some details we didn't have before. I'd say it was a resounding sucess. We seriously owe you a beer or 12.

*Note to self: In the future, when turning a game that you have stripped upside/down, make sure to collect all the loose screws and bolts before turning said game upside/down.*

Find any quarters?

So the kick panels are flush with the bottom panel?

modessitt · « **Reply #122 on:** March 27, 2007, 01:24:42 pm »

yes, the front kick panels are flush with the bottom panel. Same with the back panel, although there is about a 1/8" gap due to the placement of the back door hinge.

I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on it, though I got my biggest commitment out of the way today and with that behind me I should have something ready shortly. Stay tuned.

and i...unfortunately...will be too busy with bicycles for the next seven months...-=\

Come on guys. Don't let this thread die. Is anyone still working on these?

ElfShotTheFood · « **Reply #127 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:53:12 am »

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like an insensitive clod. I should have asked " how are these plans coming along"? i completely understand the "real life disease" which keeps us from getting fun things done.

so, keep up the good work

Woohoo.

I saw your name in a thread yesterday and I was meaning to bump this thread.

Good to see you are back into it.

Cheffo, Did that cocktail happen to be at the auction at Starburst Coin? Didn't see it there.

Thanks,

Xb0x3r

Nope ... mine used to belong to Gravitar (aka Mike Ranger, aka the Williams Guru).

I did see the most recent one at Starburst and was a heartbeat away from bidding on it (then I realized that owning Mike Ranger's Joust Cocktail was pretty damned cool and I shouldn't bogart the cool cocktails).

I'm so glad you guys are documenting this cab so thoroughly - it's definitely one of my favorites! Maybe after I clear through my projects, I'll start on this. I always did want to put a cocktail cab in my office! Thanks for all the hard work guys!

fixedpigs · « **Reply #133 on:** January 22, 2008, 08:13:41 pm »

my question could be answered by anyone with a joust cocktail cabinet...

i'm looking at you cheffo...

RetroBorg · « **Reply #134 on:** April 09, 2010, 09:47:35 pm »

fixedpigs · « **Reply #135 on:** April 09, 2010, 09:57:50 pm »

1 year bump

Would love to have the plans and get this C&C'ed

DPTwiz is making these cabinets for any interested

elkameleon · « **Reply #138 on:** April 29, 2011, 11:07:40 pm »

I would love to get my hands on this cab! I'm fluent with SolidWorks, which is perfect for making plans. I would love to personally draw this bad boy up.

Jakobud · « **Reply #139 on:** October 27, 2014, 04:17:29 pm »

You guys interested in a real blast from the past? This is as far as I got on the Joust Cocktail plans ~10 years ago. Everything is to scale. You will need AutoCAD or something compatible to view it.

Anyone have a definitive woodworking plan for this? Please?
