good show :applaud:

I'm assuming that was a kit? If so, who sells it & what'd it cost you. If not, you're an awesome carpenter. If only all builds went that fast. Thanks for the video.

Nice work!

Cheers.
It kind of a kitset I suppose.
I took some plans to a cabinet maker and we spent the day drawing it up on his PC using some VERY expensive software. All the joints are mortise and tenon which means a male and female sytem ;D
You just put glue in the slot ;D and insert the male ;D >:D and clamp overnight.
No screws required.
It cost quite a bit to set up, but after a couple of test cabinets we got it right. Now I can ring and order 5 cabinets, jump in my car after a coffee and by the time I get there they are all cut out on his CNC machine. And they are 100% perfect!
Unfortunately it would cost me too much to ship them to you guys, but I would love too if I could. Here is a picture of a completed one in black.

Thanks again.
I was actually thinking of doing a proper guide but It would be too long so I made this small clips instead.
I might do some short clips on some of the next machines.

Very nice cab. Are the plans available online or would you be willing to share them?

Sorry, but all the plans are on his PCs.
The program he uses and it is VERY VERY expensive. Tens of thousands of dollars.
I'm actually wondering if the time comes when I move to a new city who owns the plans? Me, because I paid for it, or him?
I just hope its me! :hissy:
-
I hope he lets you have the plans as well...
I actually was interested in just getting a rough set of dimensions. Height, Width, Depth, Control panel size and layout. I'd be happy draw them up in Solidworks and send or post the drawings afterwards

Dammit Spacies! I've been waiting all day to see the videos, I cant see them at work as youtube links are disabled.
I get home and the vids are no longer availiable! :'(
Quit the teasing and get them back up! ;)

If you get the plans send them to Franco, he will build it out of metal.....
-
Lol, could you imagine the weight of that!
Anywho's, I have my own plans in action for a range of retail arcade products, one of which is a cocktail ;)

Ah ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I thought you guy would have forgotten about these.
I will see if I can find them again. Oh the shame.
-
Lol, I didn't even look at the OP date! :laugh2:
Would still love to see them all the same :)
-
Ah ---Cleveland steamer--- I thought you guy would have forgotten about these.
I will see if I can find them again. Oh the shame.
Haha, mate thats what you get for showing off how perfect your cabs always turn out :)
Since you don't have to put the same amount of effort into your cabinets we'll put you through some pain on details, plans & videos. :P

Nice looking cocktail cabinets indeed. Well done.
