The gaming cabinet is being built without any plans and this is going to make for an interesting project indeed. All dimensions for the cabinet are being based around the screen that’s going to be fitted inside and from here I was able to cut out the basic shape for the sides of the cabinet.
It got easier moving forward, joining the two sides with more MDF board cut to measurements based around the TV screen and before long the cabinet soon started to take shape.
I’ve never been good at woodwork but will always give things a try. I found this part of the project a little frustrating as the lines I cut weren’t as neat as I had hoped but I should be able to hide a few mistakes when I come to cover the cabinet and add the graphics. Still it’s nice to see some reward for my efforts even at this early stage.
