Did your cab turn out better than you expected?
MameJunkie:
How come the last lap seems longer than the rest?
I'm still trying to finish up my cab.

I've made some minor mistakes; but overall, I think its better than I expected.
The only woodworking skill I have is 7 grade woodshop class :P
One think about woodworking comparing to software is you cant go back and correct your mistakes easily. So like what everyone says, "Measure Twice, Cut Once". Luckly, I had space wood.
Stingray:
Turned out about as well as I expected. Given the benefit of hindsight, I may have done some things differently.

Nope... because I see someone elses cab before I finish any project and want to do that next....
Also, function of looks always... So I have a bunch of parts that I should cleanup just for cosmentic reasons.
but my hotswappable control panels are pretty freaken cool still. I have to setup a website to show them. Every time I swap them without plugs, screws or anything and they work, gives me goosebumps...
Of course I really need to get my frontend working with joysticks so I can actually use most of my control panels to control...the...frontend... :(

i've been a bit like that - got my videomaster jamma cab a fews months ago coz i couldnt wait - i was gonna make one. now i've had the videomaster a while i want to make a dedicated cab (defender). the only difference is that it's gonna have 6 buttons - i might make two cp's so i've got a defender lookalike cp.
just something though about generic cabs that make them second best to dedicated cabs
DaveMMR:
Although I just built an empty frame so far, it's far exceeded my expectations. I can't cut or measure properly, I'm spastic beyond belief, and I've been known to complete abandon projects, but the little I have is something I never thought would look half as good as it did. Of course I should stop gloating - it's only three pieces of wood screwed in together so far. I'll let you know if I have the same sentiments further on down the road.
