I just started my cab. I thought I would show & tell. I got a good start on the frame & doors.

Now I know where the "Cab" comes from in cabinetmaker/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif. That looks like one substantial piece of framework with a good fit.

What kind of stock is that you are using? Did you have a set of plans you were following,or did you just follow your instincts? Looks very good.

Thanks for sharing your project. Once I see yours completed I may start to believe I could make one myself.

The frame is 1" x 2" x 1/8" wall tubing. I had looked at some cabs and alot of pics, I made several drawings and it is looking the way I wanted it to so far. It is hard to build without plans but it can be done, just takes longer.
I will post more as I get closer to the end.

Wow, nice job. Have you been using cardboard or something else for a template to get such a nice fit on the steel, though I think it could be a little windy :)
