Having been given a boatload of woodworking gear from my dad who is giving it up (he's 78), I figured I'd dive in and see if I could build a cabinet (more like a box) for my 400. The last times I did anything like this was in 7th grade in the late 60's. And it was a shitty looking tool carry.
2 coats of Red Mahogany Stain. It's still rough enough(last sandpaper was 180) that I think it needs to be sanded with some 320 and then veneered. Never was any good at this stuff. This is the test fit, and it's by no means finished yet.
It fits tight enough(on the sides) it doesn't needs screws to hold it in.
1-1"x12"x6' and 4ft of 3/8"x3/8" square stock. I had to cut the bottom plate thickness by about 1/2 so put the dado blade on the Radial Arm saw and went to town. And had to cut slots in the sides to allow the screws on the sides to clear. The back side sticks out about 3/4". I'll live with that so to keep the 7868's cool.
Still have to get some Gold Anodized screen sheet for the top. I like the Red Mahogany color, so It'll stay. Wonder if I can get that Color in Veneer. Hmmmm............
