First time building - Got inspired

Ah. I see what you did there. Clever move!

Been a while since my last post
 I have done some updates, got new pc hardware and swiched to win 7. And i installed a coin door and acceptor.

Looks pretty good.


The only other thing is the angle of the panel -- it looks uncomfortably steep.

IT IS! So im looking for ideas on how to change the angle without chopping up the whole thing
This it what the angle of the CP looks like now.

I would recommend building up the front, You could probably insert a piece of 1x1 or 2x1 inside the front edge of cabinet, put the same on the front bottom edge of the cp panel.  The hardest bit will be working out the angles you want where those 2 pieces sit. An electric planer would make the job a quick one, But a hand plane could be used just as easily.
Once that is done you will need to make 2 small patches for the sides, 1 for the front. Adjust the angle of the back of the CP to account for front adjustment.

Is this what you have in mind Drnick? Drawing is not to scale just to demonstrate. Adding the red parts?

[Drnick]

Yep that's pretty much it although leave yourself with some angle.

Came up with a new idea.
By cutting out the blue area i can make a new base for the control panel.

Like this:


The angle on this will be 10mm lower in front of the cp than the back. Used to be like 50mm.
