And you put them in your bathroom. Seriously, that room looks to be about 6 feet wide.

@ slapaham: No worries dude, if you want to borrow the mobo just give me a shout. I know what you mean about the Pringles, I've picked up three cabs in as many weeks :-\ :lol Ooo, I hadn't thought about the link-up, that could be interesting! :)
:lol @ mlalena: It's actually our third 'bedroom'. We don't all have 1000sq/ft rooms over here in the UK :) We only been moved in about three months and it was just being used as storage. I much prefer it now! :)
@ ddnaldson: They sound great if that what you were asking
I've asked for this thread to be moved over to PA so I'll carry on with updates in this thread.
I've started work on the replacement CP for the cab on the left. I'm going to use 3mm acrylic but for a start I've been working on a CP template to use to route the acrylic.
I stripped the CP and traced the outline on some 12mm MDF:
I jigsawed the profile out leaving 3mm or so to clean up with the router. As the metal CP is so thin I used some washers to raise it slightly so it would run along the bearing and allow the cutters flutes to clear the top of the MDF so all of the material was removed:
Then it was just a case of trimming the excess on my router table:
I've not finished the router table as yet but you can see the top panel swings up to allow easy changing of cutters and adjusting the cutting height. I need to mount two lock arms I've made for it to keep the top panel elevated but a tool box works for now :D
Pic of the template after cleaning it up a little:
Then just a test fit on the cab:
Not too shabby if I do say so myself :)
I need to get some black 3mm acrylic to continue with the CP now.
Whilst I was working I decided to change the washers for the JLFs on the SF4 themed cab as I don't really like the standard black textured ones.
These are the stock JLW washers, I'm sure you know what they look like:
I've made some acrylic replacements but I'm not sure which ones to go for. I made a gloss black washer, a gloss orange and a mirrored:
What do you think? I quite liking the mirrored at the moment.

Mirrored, def... :o

Mirrored is NIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE.
