EX's Kitchen Cab (so has to match the kitchen!)

<< < (3/6) > >>

Franco B:
Is sounding good bud.

Where's those pictures you promised?  ;)

How about some pics of your kitchen too so we can see where it has to fit in?

blueznl:
Why not get a broken fridge and rebuild it?

Been away for a few days and made no progress but reading some of the posts did make me laugh  ;D

Seems some of you have been watching too much Red Dwarf!

BTW, when I said I would make my cab into a fridge it was in jest, just thought I would clear that one up in case some of you were confused  ???

Now where is that smeggin camera...

Found the smeggin camera...

First pic is just of a vinyl'd panel, the back as it happens. Does not really show the mirror finish it gives.



Second pic is of the inside bottom of the cab with the back installed. The base is still just primed. Get a better idea of the reflectiveness here. I didn't plan to do the inside but had just enough left over to do the inside at the bottom.



Close up view of the top, I am using an aluminium bar for the marquee holder.



You can also see I have left some overhang of the vinyl, this is because I want to fold the vinyl over and have the t-mold trap it down so there are no edges at all.

It has been taking me ages to prep and vinyl every single panel hence no update for a while. Each panel is taking about 1-2 hours to vinyl and on top of that is the preparation time for filling holes etc. Last night finished the last prep of the sides after filling in all the screw holes and sanding them down.

This is the vinyl  had printed up, you can see how I made up each panel.


And here is the speaker panel primed, filled, sanded and ready for vinyling.


And this is it vinyl'd and installed in the cab.


Came up with quite a neat solution for the keyboard drawer, since my coin door panel/kick panel is removable I had nothing to hinge to but also didn't want anything visible from the sides so put some stainless rod into the sides of the panel and holes in the side of my cab, when installing the panel I just push out the rod into the cab and put something in the hole to stop it popping back out. I don't need to have it removable but that is just a benefit. To hold the keyboard panel up I am using a touch latch from screwfix.


And another view of that.


Also cut my control panel, here is a pic of the top half of the cab with it in place, glass installed with the bezel (the black has got to go now!)
