Building a MAME cabinet 3

elbeno, 26 June, 200729 July, 2007

I’ve been stopping off at Home Depot on my way to work and slowly getting together more parts. I now have:

  • Jigsaw and router bit set (borrowed from a colleague)
  • 4 x 2″ industrial casters
  • 1/2″ wood chisel
  • 18″ drawer runner set
  • Coin door! (free from a colleague)
  • 140-tooth 7-1/4″ ply/laminate saw blade
  • 1lb 1″ coarse thread drywall screws

I have also discovered that Home Depot stocks Lexan, which will save me having to order online and pay shipping etc. Unfortunately my spacious control panel design means that 18″x24″ is a bit small one way. I have to bump to the next size, i.e. 48″x24″. More expensive, but I can probably get a marquee sandwich out of that size as well as a CP cover.

I also have a 1/16″ slot cutting bit on the way. The router bit set does not include one; however, it does include a flush cutter.

Another weekend, and more cabinet work. Staining and varnishing I’m still putting off until I have all the woodworking done. In the week, I picked up some Lexan from Home Depot and today I finished the control panel. First, I routed the area for the trackball mounting plate, since I…

Just come back from a trip to Home Depot. I used the truck hire, which was easy. Now I also have 3 sheets of 4’x8′ 3/4″ oak ply in my basement, and I picked up a few 2″x3″x8′ studs too for cutting supports.
