Looking good dude, hope you get in all together soon :cheers:

Thanks Barry! I did some more work tonight, as I decided this weekend that I can get the project done over the next couple weeks if I keep chugging along. I cut out the metal for the top of the jukebox. The pictures tell the story. Thanks for the tip from Mountain to sandwich the metal between two pieces of wood to keep the metal from bending. I used two pieces that were the same shape as I needed to cut and it came out great I think. I'll find out tomorrow when I can get back to the cabinet. I also threw in a picture of some of the corian with the base coats on them.

Most of the cabinet is now primed. I don't have any pictures of that at the moment, but once I get it up and running next week, I will be posting like crazy. In the meantime, I decided to take on some of the led wiring tonight. Here is the brackets I designed to go behind the light lenses. I cut them on the Shopbot. They hold five rgb's evenly apart throughout each section of pillar for a total of 20 between the two sides. I only finished one side tonight, as I needed to adjust all of the wiring from its last home in the old jukebox. Here are some before and after pics. I still need to paint the final finish on the bracket, so nothing is permanent yet. :cheers:

Well, I am halfway home on the last light bar. It is tedious work. :P But enjoyable work. Anyways, I'm taking a few minutes break and I will be back later with pics!

I have finished the second light bar. Here is a little pictoral of my joyous evening. :afro:
First, here is the ledwiz from the old juke with everything still attached as it. I mounted the ledwiz to the bracket and went from there:
I then carefully cut off any addon wires that I had added in the past, disconnected everything and put the rgb's in their new homes:
I then numbered each of them and started with number one. I measured out about an inch past the last screw terminal needed, stripped the wires, then attached them. I left all of the +5v for last:
Here is the first half done:
Here is a couple more pics of the final product:
