    Default How deep for a cabinet?

    Hi,

    I am in the process of restoring a vintage machine for my nephew for Christmas and was thinking of building a very basic cabinet for him to either put on the floor of his room or a table so it can help to keep dust and dirt out of the machine. I was going to basically just build it out of 3/4" thick pine boards screwed to the frame of the machine with a back on it and just basic board feet. Just not sure how deep to make it. How deep do most people make them?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    1 by 8 inch pine boards screwed right to the frame, that's how i did mine.

    modern machines would need wider boards.
