Oops! There goes another Mountain Juke Box! (*05/04/2009*) Update
DaOld Man:
Thanks Mountain for that tip about the T-molding slot depth. I was really worried about it, because there is not a lot of room on the 1/2" MDF for 3/4" T-molding.
Ok, I got all the T-molding slots cut.
Got the speaker box finished, it's ready for the wire works.
Got half the T-molding installed on the top box.
Dont have too many pictures yet, but here are a few.
First, a sneak peek of how I plan to do the powermate back light.
I used some 1/4" by 1-1/2" fender washers for support. I drilled the holes in the washers to 3/8".
Here it is in a test mode. I plan to have the washers and bolt hold the plexi until the glue dries, then remove the washers and bolt out the back and install the ole PM.
Here is the speaker box. Protective plastic has not been pulled off the t-molding yet.
If you notice the T-molding is hanging off the edge just a slight amount.
I didnt notice this until I had already cut the first slot. I think it looks pretty good, so Im keeping it like that.
Here is a closeup of the speaker bar. This pic doesnt do it justice:
One last shot, with slightly different angle:
I also got the rabbet cut made on the back. No pic of that yet.
Next to do:
Finish installing t-molding on top box.
Cut out the back panel.
Install mounting block for USB ports.
Start putting the guts in this baby.

I didn't notice til you mentioned it ;)
It looks great! Is the speaker grill a different colour or is it the pic? I think it contrasts well if it's the former.
DaOld Man:
Thanks drawfull..
That grill is the actual sound bar speaker grill. It is a little off from the chrome of the T-molding, but it matches pretty good I think.
DaOld Man:
Alrighty! This juke is finished, all except some more software tweaking and some cd ripping.
I am posting a few pics. I have a lot more of the build process between now and the last post, but since Im pressed for time right now, I will update with more pics later.
First of all, let me thank Mountain for his spectacular design. I just wish i could match his craftsmanship.
Also thanks to Javeryh, NVTS, Drawful, and all the others who helped me on this project.
If you decide to make a copy of Mountains juke, let me warn you. It is not as easy as Mountain makes it look.
First pic (and these pics are not too good).

The back:
Power cord, LAN network cable and mouse and keyboard plugged in:
Front, turned a little bit:
Merry Christmas to all. May God bless and be with you always.

:laugh2:
Thats awesome!
This really turned out nice, you should be very proud. I suppose I made it look easy just by the way I post my progress. :dunno This build almost killed me and consumed just about every free moment of my time for a month. I am glad you liked the design enough to make one of your own. I hope you get as much pleasure out of it as my Dad has.
Merry Christmas!
