My new cabinet design

(1/4) > >>

DHTech:
Hi Guys

I've started a new cabinet design based around the Neon Mame, I wanted a built in CP rather than a box that sits on the top. This is a work in progress, any comments or suggestion are always welcome.

Ah yes, all in metric as thats what we use in the UK  ;)

Thanks,
Jeremy (DHTech)

You may want to fillet some of those sharp corners.  It'll be difficult getting t-molding on them. 

DHTech:
Yes I will smooth them off, to make t-moulding easier to fit.

When doing drawings like this, it can be easier to dimension it an (x,y) format from a corner.  When you layout the panel on the plywood you'll find it easier to read your drawing if each point that you're marking is Xmm from base and Ymm from side.  Then you just connect all of the points and draw in the fillets.

For the fillets, I like to print out circles that are 1-4" in diameter, mount them on cardboard and then physically place them on the wood, determining which radius I want, where.  You can then trace the circle once you get it in place, or mark the center of the circle with a nail and then use a compass.  If you don't want to trace circles, you can also dimension out radius centers in cad and use a compass on your panel.

Revision 2 on my arcade design, I expect this to evolve a little more over the next few days :)
