New Lowboy from scratch, need some help
dungbeetle46:
I have decided to build a lowboy from scratch based on Lord Hiryu cab.
I am trying to work out how to have it on wheels like people do but then how to stop it moving around when playing, I have also noticed most lowboys sit up on a 100mm stand, just wondering how this is attached etc
Thanks

This pic should help. Basically on the original lowboys the base was held on by 4 pieces of wood nailed to the stand in the top of each corner, then glued and nailed to the base of the cab. The option i used were these heavy duty 3 way metal brackets i found at bunnings (about $12 for 2) and they did the job perfectly.

Thanks for that
Just an update, decased and framed the monitor today (19" Flat screen PC Monitor)
and cut control panel ready for controls.

Whoa, please reduce those photos to something a little more web friendly! they are huge!
2304px × 1728px is too much, use something like google's picasa to size them down to 640 x 480.
Anyway, the cab looks like it's coming along really well. Any thoughts on artwork ? theme ?

still working out a them and artwork, that seems to be the hardest part
