No, no I'm not giving up haha! I'm just being a drama queen  ;D
I've also been given a deadline to get this ready for my sister's engagement party which is a little over a month away so I really need to start moving now!

Funnel: Do you have a link to your cab on here? :cheers:

Garza:
So any news? I think you are really doing a good job me at 18? Forget about it! I would of started a cabinet and not have the patients to finsh and would of burned it!  :soapbox: But Keep up the good work. I would like to see where you are with it now...

I think it's been a bit longer than that, BYOAC!

What's been going on?! Not much. Long story short, my soon to be brother-in-law kicked ---my bottom--- for not making this fast enough and now it has to be ready (not painted) by tomorrow!



Everything is all wired up...need to re-map some keys etc. Obviously has a lot of aesthetic work to go on it, still need to order a slot cutter for the t-molding. I thought the speakers were going to look better mounted like this than I thought...might change that later, who knows! Will probably touch-up all the paint work later too. As long as it's working tomorrow that's all that matters!

I'd also like to apologise to ivwshane who told me to use a saw guide and I said I would, about halfway through I started using one and yeah, I should've used it from the start!!! Uh...what else? There really is always more stuff to do than you first think...especially when you leave it to be done in two weeks after work...

just slap some marble contact paper on it and call it a day.
