Great video Donovan, glad you managed to retrieve the original footage :-) I have a question about routing the sides. In the video you routed the outer side but I'm guessing your also going to do the same profile for the inner side? If so, how do you tackle the inner corners? The angle isn’t too extreme on your side piece so might be a non-issue but I'm planning to build my sides with a foot that runs along the side of the base, just like your original cab. With that design there is an inner right angle corner that’s chamfered 45 degrees. Will a router just follow the rail to the right angle and match up automatically or is there a trick to it? Apologies if I'm not explaining myself very well. Going through the last bits of design and prep work at the moment before I start a build in the new year so your videos are a great help! Please keep them coming. Have a great holiday season!
Let's talk about the sides in the upright position: the front edge has a 3/4" bevel on the outer side and 1/2" bevel on the inside. The back edge of the side will not be routed. I didn't have any issue with my first cabinet doing a 1/2" bevel along the foot. You do get a bit of a radius where the foot meets the side. I wasn't particularly in love with that look, which is why I did 2 pieces on this cab. Have you seen my Flickr photo gallery of the first cab? Lots of pictures: flickr dot com /photos/donovanmyers/sets/72157615957035070/
Eddie and anyone else who is wondering: Thank you so much for watching my videos and having an interest in my project. Unfortunately it is now officially on indefinite hiatus. My mother passed away in the spring and my second child was just born this fall. I have absolutely no time to work on it. On top of that, I'm moving to another state and enrolling in college. I do have the pieces and wood still and can still finish the project, but I cannot say when that might happen. If you need help with your own cab or plans feel free to contact me and I'll provide as much help as I can. Much love to you all, Donovan
It should be much easier. It's less parts since you don't enclose the monitor. I did not make a video, but I have a fairly detailed Flickr photo gallery here: www.flickr.com/photos/donovanmyers/sets/72157606686208156/ Send me a message with your email and I'll send you the SketchUp file if you want it.
My mom passed away and I now have 2 kids, one with special needs. We ended up moving states and the project got scrapped. I have plans and info on my website. If YOU want to make it, I'll try and help.
Donovan Myers Donovan sorry to hear about your mom. I am in Colorado if you need any assistance.. hope your project can one day be completed. If you are not to busy I had a question about your router bit. I order the big ass router bit model 40-118, I'd you use these same bit when cutting the 1/2 inch side as well as the 3/4 side? Sorry I am a newb at routers... this project has been on hold for 3 years since we last spoke on you tube lol.. I am just now ordering all the bits , forester, sizes , flush bits, etc etc.. I even bout a special template bit to install sanwa joysticks .. thanks again hope it gets better for you
Thanks for watching and your interest! It's finally warming up here so I can get back out in the garage, but now they're threatening another 3-7" of snow tonight. I would guess I can get back to it regularly in April.
Donovan Myers Nice to hear that you'll continue those videos. I built a bartop arcade last year, but I sold it to a friend. You can see it on my channel, my video is in portuguese, because I'm brazilian, but I added some subtitles on english. Now I want to build a vewlix, and your videos will guide me to do it. Thanks.
Thanks. It's been a long time, hasn't it? I've had some personal stuff going on. The project is on hold, but not cancelled. I may get some time to work on it and post a video soon.
No plans. I couldn't finish this project due to life changes. You can grab the SketchUp file from this post though: www.donovanmyers.com/post/173027626888/vewlix-vlx-plans
