As a little starter project I thought it would be fun to build a couple of cocktail cabinets.
These are going to use LCDs for screens, and RetroPi boards for the brains, but I'm going to stay as true to original as I can for everything else.
Luckily, I have a CNC router that I use for business.
I've already made a CAD model to verify everything fits together right. I used the measurements from Kyle Lindstrom's plans to build mine.
The gcode is all ready to send to the machine.
I would have had all the parts cut last weekend but, believe it or not, I could not get my hands on any 3/4 inch particle board...Long story.
So, I had some mdf in the shop and decided to get started with that.
I went ahead milled out the first parts, which are the bases.
Not super exciting, but every journey has to start somewhere
More soon!
