SkeeBall being one of them. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

If you wanted to put t-molding on the exposed edges on the front of the marquee area you'd have to set the slots the marquee rests in back by about 1/2" so the t-molding barbs don't go past where the slot is interfering with the fit of the marquee. The t-molding barbs protrude about 3/8" I think. |

Just Route a slot in the sides and bottom of the marquee opening about 1/8" deep... and route another slot in the top of the marqee opening right through the thickness of the timber. Then you can just slot your marquee in from the top of the cabinet. It also makes it easy to change or clean the marquee when you want to.

I think it's about the same what I had in mind. Made a fast model today just to see how it would work out, but stumbled on a small problem. At the top there is an ugly gap. Maybe you won't notice it, I'm not sure... maybe there will get some light trough it? :S Anyway, this is what I made It's a quick job so I didn't pay attention to the measurements. ^^; |

I suppose the gap wouldn't be as bad if the top of the cabinet were designed to be a bit closer to flush than depicted. The gap would only be at the top and not too noticeable with the marquee in place. Light may be an issue but not sure if it's enough to matter. |
