Knievel gave me the push I needed. I just purchased some laminate!  :)

Knievel:

That was quick! Take note of my glue advise below. ;)

Laminate is like veneer, it has to be glued on. I have seen some good tutorials here in the past on laminating.

I used to dread working with it because of the contact cement, which is always a horror show. Recently I tried water-based contact cement and that changed everything. Looks and goes on like white latex paint, no smell/mess and easy cleanup.

Up here in Canada you can get black laminate at Home Depot or Rona for around $50 a 4x8 sheet. I would try looking in the yellow pages as well, you can get it really cheap from a distributor.

psychotech:
That cab looks awesome, again  :applaud:

Just waiting for a picture of the black'n'blue arcade :)

Exit stage left ...

Noted! Awesome and thanks.

Knievel:

Let me know if you have questions as you're doing it.
Here's the cabinet edge, tough to get a good pic..



If you guys want a picture of anything specific build-wise let me know.
I didn't take that many pics of this one but I still have the other cabinet apart.

Really I didn't think anybody would be that interested, unless they owned the same type of cabinet. Guess I'll have to get some more finished pics up.  :)


Psycho..are you talking Black'n'Blue the band??
