I live in a 2nd floor apt now. It is a 200 yr old building with really small doors and staircases. I can barely get a 19 inch cab thru the doorway! Just dont ask about getting it up 2 flights o' stairs! :o I am modifying a 19" cab so I dont have to do too much woodworking. I have little old ladies living all around me, so drilling and routing the control panel MUST be done at a friends. This is all going on in my Dining room. We eat in the living room for the time being! |

Im in an apartment, and my cab is being worked on in my dining room/kitchen. its working out very well, because it is all linoleum, and easy to clean up. Im modifing a 25" cab, and so the control panel is about the only thing that ive been maknig a lot of noise (and mess) with. So ive been working on that on my tiny little patio. painting is done in the apt with newspapers spread out. |

I'm in apartment-ville as well. I am fortunate enough to have a friend who is allowing me to build in his garage. Try asking around. Someone may even be willing to rent you a space for a small fee. The major construction or refurbishing shouldn't take that long if it is well planned. Most of it could be done in a weekend. The wiring details, etc. can be pretty much taken care of where the cabinet will stand in your place. Good luck! |
| Distortion:
If you're concerned about getting it thru doorways, do what i did. Put most of the thing together using 2x2 furring strips in the corners and 1/4" machine bolts/nuts. I plan on having this in our extra room on the second floor, then once I get my own place (probably not for about 2 years) viola! I can take it apart and transport it easily. No muss, no fuss, no coconuts! It's great as long as you don't plan on moving it often. |

I too live in an apartment. I find it impossible to do any of the work. I tried .... but it's just way too messy in a confined area. The paint smells the place up. Sawdust and paintdust gets all over the place. My attempts to construct a control panel at home were cut short VERY fast. I ended up begging a friend to let me finish the project in her garage/basement. |
