Today I started the making of a new cabinet for my Zoo Keeper.
This restoration/creation will take me a while and I'll try to keep the thread alive as I go. For now, I have all of the pieces of the cabinet cut, but there are still some little things to do to a few of them:
Next on the list:
- cut the t-molding slot
- cut the angular cuts on the top panel, speaker panel, and top back piece. These pieces don't have 90 degree cuts like the rest, so I didn't get to them yet.
- cut a groove in the top panel for the marquee
- route groove in the back on the front panel where it meets to bottom of the cabinet.
I don't own a router, so some of those simple things will take me a while as I look for a friend who does have one and is willing to help. Someone (I won't say who or where he got the plans, sorry!)cut the cabinet for me, but he's almost 2 hours away, so I'm not going back there just to have a few grooves cut.
Like I said, I'll try to keep this thread alive as I go, but expect a few days here and there with no updates.
