I want to build a cab but have no skills
Ghoul:
Basically if you have a friend who has the tools and is willing to let you use them you're set.
Building a cab is simple. I had never used power tools and with my dad keeping an eye on my progress and checking measurements I was able to measure and cut out the skeleton of my cab in about an hour.
In general cab building isn't that hard because it's almost all lines. There's no fancy woodworking stuff.

You can't say that and NOT post pics. ;)

want to play Mame and no wood working skills ??...
maybe lower your expectations a little bit in the beginning...
there are 1 player sticks out there... like x-arcade...
or there is another place who have a wood kit available...
you basically just need screwdriver and put it together....
and price is around $100.... (I would say... acceptable... since it would really require no woodworking skill whatsoever... and you don't need to buy any tools at all....)
then you can move on to the big thing....
1 step at a time....
does it sound logical ?? ;) ;D

Most materials can be relatively inexpensive...test on small pieces first, then move on to the real thing. I have no skills either, but the more I try, the more I find that I can do it, and it's not so intimidating.
Do your research. Read posts and look at examples 'til you're blue in the face. Learn from others' mistakes. Let your research build your confidence, and you just might be taking on things you thought were crazy a few months before.
I'm glad I decided to build my own-- in this case, it's been a great journey, and the destination's even better...
