I also have a Radial Arm Saw (Craftsman) that I have had for 5 or 6 years, but I still haven't gotten it squared up right.  I have tried 3 times and it still won't make a straight cut.  >:(

Mark, mail that thing to me.  I'll square it up for you.  I can't promise it won't get lost in the mail on the return trip back to you ;)

My first cabinet was around $1300 in materials and parts.  I was rather shocked by the cost of my jukebox project because so many of the costs in that one are upfront.  I have about a grand into it and I haven't even started the cabinet part.  I have one cabinet left in me, I have my 49 ways, my LED Wiz and some of the other components, but I am only making one more.  I've built five now for friends and family and I just don't have anything left in the tank.

Come on now, a router is great investment. I can't believe I built two cabinets without one. In less than 2 months, it has become my favorite tool. All you need are a few good straight bits, a pattern cutting bit and a round over bit and you will start to see places that you can use it. They can be used for a lot more than the t-molding slot!

Anyway, I haven't kept track of any of my cabinets other than ones that were built to be for sale. It's a hobby that I have fun with; I takes some of the fun away to know how much you spent on the thing.

Ok, let me see

Rescued Cabinet...free
Scrap Wood...free
Cheap computer speaker amp...free
Car speakers...salvaged from car I rolled over 2 years ago (free)
Computer...$200
19" computer monitor...$100 after shipping
HD...$20
Coin mech...$5
Buttons, joysticks, encoder...$110
Trackball...$30
Wire, disconnects, etc...$30
Paint...$10

So for a project I was aiming to be under $500 it is... $5 above.  Wow that is absolutely amazing, I could have sworn I dropped more into it.  I thought it was at least in the $800 range.  Of course I've added wheels, I've repainted.  I'm about to strip the body and repaint it again, and I have to clear coat it this time before I get around to using it again.  So I'm sure it still will suck at least $200 out of me still.

What's even better is we built a cocktail on the cheap for my bother for about $250 using old wood covered in veener, and various donated gifts.
