If anyone would like to see any more pictures of the progress up to this point, let me know; I've taken a fair few already.
Yes! The more pictures the better. You are doing a great job so far!
Ok!
Here's the template used to cut all the top pieces. I used a router to cut the remaining 3 to get an acurate fit:
A picture of the completed sides. Each has 2 parts made from 12mm and 18mm MDF glued together. The outside edges were routed with a large 45 degree chamfer bit:
Here's a closeup of the top attached to the sides. It needed to be an anged cut to get the bevelled edges to line up correctly:
Not the neates of finishes but purely functional, here's a picture of the inside of the top where the acrylic and marquee will slide in. The back 3 panels are cut to be flush with the insides of the side pieces:
A test fit of the adjustable feet on a bit of scrap. I had to order some more as I didn't realise they wouldn't come out once in. Maybe I'll make a tripod cab with the remaining 3:
A VESA mounting board for my monitor:
Closeup of the speaker frame. It has bevelled outside edges and stands proud by about 6mm from the main panel. It's covered in standard speaker cloth. Vinyl was used to cover the main board area. I had tested the fit and wasn't happy with the height of the monitor so I had to take out the monitor and speaker shelves, reposition them and recut the bottom panel:
The back of the cab with the original speaker and monitor shelves. It's going to house a 5.1 system. The monitor is a16:9 ratio LG with HDMI, DVI and VGA.
The bevelled front pieces of the control panel:
Closeup of the side of the control panel. It has a lid to allow access to the insides so the controls an be changed:
The inside of the control panel:
For the pc, I'll be making another control panel to fit inside which will be something like this:
The two side pieces made for the control panel:
... and finally, the control panel bolted into place (ran out of washers for the final bolt)
