1. Don't play before you finish or you will never finish. Even if you don't play you may never finish.

2. MDF dust is evil. Do not breath it if you can avoid it.

3. Do Not Cut MDF in the house. It takes years to get rid of it. ( I moved)

4. Don't gp cheap - you will spend more doing it over.

5. Power tools can hurt or mame you. (play on words) but don't use power tools when drinking.

6. Make it look like an arcade game. If it looks like a computer with a monitor that is all anyone will
ever think it is.

7. Make it a family project. Involve your wife, significant other, cat and dog. They will all be proud when
it is finished.

8. Accept that it is more fun to build then to play these cabs.

9. Few cabs will ever be perfect.

10. Pictures, Pictures, Pictures... For your own records and for those who love to see your pictures.
