Ever seen a white one??? * And his woodgrain cousin*
muzland:
Great stuff Spacies!
I have a few questions though.
1. Do you have any close up pictures of your mortice and tenon joints?
2. How do you make these joints? By hand, jig or machine?
3. Are these joints suitable for MDF or do you need to use ply or other wood?
4. Are these laminate covered or painted?
Sorry for all the questions mate, but I would like to have a crack at one of these.
Cheers
Muzland

Very, very good looking cabinet. I've always been partial to the clean white electronics look (and am actually planning a slick white CP right now).
Have you considered using Sanwa parts in the CP? That way, the entire CP, including the joystick, could be white also.
Edit: Or maybe clear parts. One of those translucent balltops from ponyboy and a bunch of clear buttons would look fantastic.
Another edit: Similiar to muzland's fourth question, is that laminate, or melamine (it sure doesn't look like paint)?

Thanks.
1: See below
2: Started out making them by hand. Then built a jig, Now machine, lol.
3: Any board would be alright. But using timber you would have to make sure the grain isn't running the same way as the mortise joint otherwise it probably would break off. Ply would be sweet.
4: These are double sided, pre-finished Meltecca. No painting or laminating. Just assemble and its done.

Yeah I have thought about that.
Its all Sanwa stuff at the moment but the cabinets' not plain white. Its a kinda very, very light grey.
So white may look a tad out of place. I like the black though.
The fan behind the grill on the front is LED Blue so the matching buttons would HOT!
I might order some to try them out for the next machine.
See above: Its Meltecca. Similar to Melamime.

Hey! You stoled my idea before I could think of it! :P
Seriously, I was just recently considering painting my cab white. Now that I see how nice yours looks, I think that's what I'll plan on. Probably not chrome trim for mine, but that does look nice.
