Title: Seeking plans/dimensions for Golden Tee cabinet
Post by: edge on March 14, 2006, 10:34:01 pm

I am looking for cabinet plans of the Golden Tee style cabinet (preferably the newer models, but open to any).  I like the way the monitor is slanted (helps with bowling/golf games).  My current cab is taking a toll on my knuckles.  ;)

I was able to find some old autocad files at http://www.brianmerry.com/ (http://www.brianmerry.com/), but they are not complete.

[Edit: The plans are complete.  I had problem with reader.]

Thanks for the help.

I just took a look at those plans.... What do you mean by, they're not complete??

The full cabinet side view, is also on those plans on the right hand side with angles and dimensions... and there's a full rear view on there as well. There's more than enough information in that drawing to actually re-construct an entire cab from.  They're not plans in the sense that they have every single part laid out separately and dimensioned, but you don't actually need that to build one. You can work out the rest of the information from what you have there.

I'm with Fozzy.  I downloaded those plans a few weeks ago and found them to be what I need to build the cabinet.  Those .dwg files will open in Illustrator.  I am going to resize them to 1:1 and print them out on a wide format printer.  I'll lay the plans out on the MDF and cut along the lines.

Fozzy / Mark,

Thanks for the quick response... Based on your comments, I am going to track down Illustrator to open these files up.  I think the tool I was using to open the DWG files was not working properly -- seemed as though pieces of the diagrams were missing.

Mark - would you mind sharing the plans after you resize them?  We have a wide architectural plotter at work that I'd love to "try". :)

Thanks.

I'm using FastCad.... There's a free viewer on their site... You can open and scale and print from it.

Try: http://www.fastcad.com

That's a great little link up there.  I vectorized the shot arrows and the chart if you want them.  I did not do the lettering, just the arrows.  PM me and I can email them.
