What is the most cabs made at one time? My friends and I are making 8 cabinets based off of the Lusid design.
-
I currently have 53 cabs in various stages of construction in my bedroom.

You must have a large bedroom.
-
Or very small cabs?
-
Or your bedroom is a women's purse (the're known to hold more than normal laws of physics would allow to fit) 8)

Oh yeah, well I have 118 in my jacket pocket alone. That's not to mention the 43 in my glove compartment, 72 in the refrigerator, and 2 in my cat's litterbox.

You wouldn't perhaps be selling those ones in your cat's litterbox at a discount rate? My apartment reeks of cat anyways so the odour wouldn't bother me so much.

Mmmmmm cat litter, the breakfast of champions.

Here is a pic of the machines 90% complete.

He, he, 90% complete. How often haven't I heard that ... Oddly enough that last 10% always seems to take 50% of the time ;D
Looks cool though. Like an abandoned arcade room.

Impressive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that there's no "oh-sh*t" moment. If you know what I mean.
-
Selling them ?
Looks great,how long it took for all that ?

LOL... I'm still working on finishing my first and only cabinet and I've already had too many of those moments to count.

We delivered all of the machines yesterday. We happened to only have one small problem that was easily fixed. One of the Bosch relays didn't want to work and we had to tweak it a little. No no major "oh ShXX" problems to worry about.
There was 6 guys on this project building 8 cabs. 2 were for sale to return most of the build cost of the 6. It was a very time consuming project to build as many as we were in the space that we had to work with but I think that they turned out pretty good.
We started the project around Halloween and worked 3-4 hours one night a week. Some weeks we worked two nights but it wasn't that often. The project was supposed to be done around the time of the Superbowl but the last 10% seemed to take the longest, but I suppose that it is the most inportant as much of it is cosmetic work. (Painting, formica, etc)

I myself don't actually scratchbuild cabinets, but I do tend to have lots of projects going on at the same time.
Right now I have 10 projects (Defender which just needs a PC, Stargate, Star Wars cockpit, Turbo upright, Sprint 2, Stunt Cycle, Amazing Maze is back to project status, Battlezone, Robocop pinball, which doesn't actually need much work, and a cocktail).
I did actually manage to finish several projects this month, but promptly sold and traded them.
