'Mass' Cab Production Method?

Coleman,

On the topic of capturing curves :

I once carried a 4X8 sheet of 1/4" hardboard into an arcade right before closing, and had my brother hold it up against a Ms Pac-Man cab while I traced it with a marker.

Instant template !

Dig it?

I can't go back now though because it was soooooo easy. I will be picking up a really powerful router next.

Don't try this with a cheapie router!!!!!

Some recommendations for you:

Milwaukee - EXCELLENT value for a higher HP router, if you can find them in your area...some places they aren't easy to find, but me living right where their headquarters are....simple as can be

Porter-Cable - A touch more expensive than Milwaukee routers, but if you've ever used one, you'd be hard pressed to find anything wrong with their router....far and away a favorite among remodelers and carpenters in my area.  If I had the $$, I'd have purchased one because it had a longer warranty and a few other factors, but needed a "gotta buy it RIGHT NOW" router and didn't have the cash on hand at that moment.

Bosch - decent for the money, but don't get it unless money is an issue, you'll like one of the other two I recommend better.  It'll be cheaper than the Milwauke, but it'll feel "chintzy" if you know what I mean.  

DeWalt might be an option if you can find one cheap enough, but remember that it's just a glorified Black & Decker product.  The price often doesn't justify the performance, except in certain tools like saws or hammer drills.
