Mame Cabinet Plans

[Quixand]

So...I REALLY want to get my project started. I'm about as far from a woodworker as can be, but I have drills, saws, router etc to give it a proper go.

Trouble is...I don't have ANY plans. I really love the look, and more importantly, the dimensions of Koenigs at http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepprojectmame.htm .

Though I can't seem to find plans for it. Just having a couple dimensions aren't enough for me. If this was building a PC or something, I'd be fine. This is completely alien to me, so I kinda need a how-to. Preferably with pictures, maybe a template I can trace onto the MDF. Something.

Any ideas?

Did you read through the whole build?  Looks like the plans are at the bottom of the page.

Pretty awesome cabinet!

[Quixand]

I sure did. Unfortunately, there aren't any plans on that website. Just really lame drawings, that don't relate to anything.
The cabinet is awesome, because of its footprint. I'm limited in space right now, and this one will fit perfect in the living room. =D

Are you blind? There are lots of detailed plans on that website/

Wow, it took all of two seconds to find the drawings.

Awhile back, I re-drew the old Lusid plans and redimensioned everything.

Its true to the original; the front panel is still 2" too short.

I've been playing around with a cocktail arcade cabinet.  Here's a link to my Google Sketchup plans.  I have not yet BUILT this cabinet.  I'm playing around with different ideas still and simply don't have the time yet to build the damned thing.  That and I'm not the best woodworker (yet).  However, Google Sketchup is great for doing this kind of prototyping (at least for me).

Yes, I have seen those. Obviously. They make no sense to me, otherwise I wouldn't have asked HERE, for plans, or something I could simply trace on the wood.

Just measure and mark the lengths shown on the drawings onto the wood and then join the dots.

Let us know what you don't understand.

Those plans are in mm.  If that doesn't clear it up enough for you to be able to layout the cabinet pieces on some plywood or MDF then I'd probably rethink building one of these yourself.  We are happy to help out though...

Ahhhhh well...that certainly helps LOL

I thought that might have been the case. I think I'm better off trying to do the measurements on cardboard first, then transfering them over to the MDF.

Or I can always ask the old man for help, he's a carpenter for christ sake. LOL
