Rebated the inner shelf sides for the plywood to fit nicely  More rebating .... Today started the CP box. Sorted the width of the digital photo frames This is how it will sit  CP box sitting on the main cabinet. (my custom MAME cabinet in the backgroung needing its new display to be installed) 

Progress ....

Marked out the side panels after getting some more MDF.  Rough Plans  Cut out, Slight backward tilt, and used a flush bit on the router to make a duplicate.  Made a bloody mess!! MDF dust gets everywhere! Temporarily attached side panels to bottom cabinet.   Packing up at the end of the day is a bit of a pain because of a lack of a fixed workspace.  Fixed the CP bottom tray to the bottom cabinet Created a top section to mount the tv, and also bought some 3mm Plywood to bend around the front. 

it has BEGUN .....

The build has finally begun! I have been really busy with school so there hasn't been much progress as of late. But school holidays started today and I bought my 2 pieces of 2400x1200x18 MDF. Got home and started cutting!  Step 1: Build the bottom cabinet  FIRST CUT! Using my sketchup model, I had the dimensions to start. I went with a 1050mm x 650mm base cabinet, as this would give me a good height and a width that would minimise the side bezel of the tv.  Rough plans I drew up ...  Tomorrows Job - Start the Side panels and top tray, including the CP bench.  Also going to need some more MDF, so a trip to Bunnings as well.
