Got wood!

Here is a quick pic of the screen form the cad program I used to draw up the parts.


I cannot get the profiles cut via beam saw (not with the company I emailed anyway)

So, off I went to Homebase (Hampton) tonight and got one of their surprisingly helpful staff to cut up my arcade cab blanks for me with their cross cut saw (wish I had one of those)

I now have the blank sides cut to rectangular size and the width of all the other panels to size.

Tomorrow I will mark out the angular cuts and rads. If the panel will fit on one of my cnc mills at work I may take the easy (and more accurate) way out and do it on there. At least both sides will be *EXACTLY* the same if I do that.

All the other parts - kick plate / front panel / screen retainer / top and 3 parts of the back will just need cutting to height on the works bandsaw.

Hopefully by the weekend I will be able to start getting a cab shaped 'thing' dry bolted together.
