Major cabinet size problem
shmokes:
Hmm...it sounds like a thought I wouldn't mind you expounding on. That's frostilicious right? I suppose I'll track down a post of his or the Cab examples page and get more info about it.

yeah the link is under my avatar - it's like 1up's only 2 pieces ...i live in 4th floor apartment...so far i've only finished the bottom half
shmokes:
Wow...that's really interesting. I'm not sure that would help, though. I'd need to figure out the new hight measurements, but it looks like it's still at least as high as it is deep so my problem would still exist.
By the way, those are the coolest control panel overlays ever made. Especially the rotary stick panel (and maybe the tron panel, the pic isn't very close up or detailed).

thanks I think they are cool too :) anyways - a lot of people make the screw-together type of cabinet for easy disassembly, but it is a lot easier and sturdier to go with a permanently joined cab. I'm talking the major corner joints, not a top/bottom like mine. How about a showcase cab? Or just don't build it so deep - what is the max depth and width you can live with? Would it turn the corner if it was skinnier?
Cue-Ball:
I don't see any reason you can't build a "normal" cab and still be able to disassemble it. If you use 1x1" or 2x2" boards to hold the MDF pieces together, you could easily remove the screws later on down the road. If it weren't for the 1/2 ton of glue on my factory-built cabinet, i'm sure i could tear it down to easily movable component parts in a few hours tops.
