Can't find 5/8 MDF, I think this will work!

(1/4) > >>

Ldsfunaz:
well, I about to build my CP, and i wanted it 5/8" with lexan on top to make it fit my 3/4" t-moulding. 

But i couldn't find any 5/8" MDF anywhere in NJ, so i bought a 2'by4' 3/4 inch and have decided to route out 1/8 inch where the top will overhang the box as well as where it touches the box...here is my poor illustrations...Please let me know if you see any problems with this method??


SteveJ34:
Looks like a solution to me.

Only thing I can think of that might be an issue is if you were planning to hinge the top along the front edge of the CP box....might need to make some adjustments for that.

Otherwise, seems to be sound southern ingenuity to me.

Your nuts may not fit on the bottoms of the buttons, and your joystick shafts may end up being to short.

Ldsfunaz:
yes, but like others i was also planning on routing the bottom, where all the buttons and sticks will be.,

i was thinking there may be a problem with the hinge, ill have to test it out....
im planning on using euro hinges
