Week 16

Huge milestone tonight! The construction of the cabinet body is officially done! We still need to fill holes and stuff like that, but it is completely built.

First, we finished installing the speaker shelf (just screwed it in, it was clamped on for the picture last week). Then we created some recessed button holes on the back of the cabinet for power on/off and administrative functions:



Here is one of them with a button in place:



And... the completely built cabinet:





Now we are starting to plan the control panel, and we got lucky again and found another leftover piece that was the exact width we needed. Makes sense because we cut several pieces to the overall width of the cabinet, but it is nice that we are still working through those and that the leftover pieces are falling into place for us now. Nice to not have to cut every little thing anymore.

It feels really good to have the cabinet itself built. It seems like it has taken us forever but it looks really good and has been a fun process. It will be nice to see it with the control panel on it.
