    Wood?..... BORING!!! (yawn).... Giggle, just kidding, You can use that one side as a template guide and cut your other side with a router for a exact match.

Nice size cab! CRT going on the inside I suppose? Hit those edges/angles with a router to round'em up a tad, and it'll look less cookie cutter-like. Good luck with the rest!

oh yeah forsure jacenwon guaranteed to round off all the corners with a router, i was leaving town and at least wanted to get started on it.... yes i have a tracer bit for my router so the other side will be done this week. As for the monitor i had a crt kicking around for years and was going to always build a cabinet and use that monitor, then lastyear i said i will never build a cabinet and gave it away  :angry: ....... so now i will have to try and find one thru the want ads or just get a led i guess
