Small cab design question

[Ummon]

Looking at this cab by custom arcades, I'm wondering....

It's a nice design....but two things:

- do you think it would be noticeable if all the corners and edges were routed?

- if so, do you think this would look good?

[Ummon]

No one has any ideas on this?

Routed in what way? Do you mean with a round over bit or...?

[evilfuzzle]

that cab looks like a pile of ass, don't get it

IMO, arcade cabinets ALWAYS look better with t-molding on the edges.

Why would you look to do this? If you're buying one surely it comes pre-routed for T-moulding or already installed...

Never build a cabinet without T-moulding; that's a big part of keeping the authentic look!

Something like that I think.

Um, does that mean yes and no?

I agree.  Plus, you're forced to paint it.  No t-molding, no laminate.  Some people around here get pretty damn good results with paint.  Not me though.
