First of all I want to say hello to all! This is as awesome forum here filled with quite a few interesting people. I am trying to build a project not unlike the one found at
http://mariobrosarcade.blogspot.com/I am going to a donkey kong/nintendo cab replica based on the draft/plans found on
www.jakobud.comHere is where I am having issues. Being new at wood working trying to lay down the shape of the cabinet based off the measurements is proving to be quite the challenge! It really frustrates me when I set out to do something and cant accomplish it. But I am very stubborn as well as determined. The two go hand in hand I am told.
I am having alot of trouble making sense of all the measurement (as if the decimal stuff was not bad enough) I follow the measurements to the best of my ability and draw the line and it just does not look right.
The owner of the
http://mariobrosarcade.blogspot.com/ site has been very informative but I don't want to bug him to much.
If anyone here can offer me some guidance I would really appreciate it. There are alot of curves in the cabinet and that is what makes it really hard. If this project does not go to horribly wrong I would like to attempt a galaga style cabinet next.
I am really looking forward to hearing from you guys and gals....nothing is more bothersome that being able to see something in your head and not get it out onto paper so to speak.
I am not so much worried about making the cuts as I am just getting down the shape.
Thanks in advance,
Adam S.
