Oak Cabinet Build

but should have verified your dimensions to make sure that it would work the way that I wanted it too. Each machine type has different elements that should be taken into account, and I failed to do that. Again, thank you for the great plans.

Oops... Yeah, all three of my machines vary slightly in dimensions (by maybe 1/8"-1/4" or so). I should probably put a disclaimer in the plans reminding folks to measure each machine.

I'm glad the plans are getting good mileage! It's fun to see people improving on them and adapting them.

The cabinet fits fine width and height wise, it is just 1/8" too deep for the front to be flush, and the bottom ball tray doesn't stick out far enough to catch the balls dropped from the bottom "overflow" tray in the machine itself. Really, those are the only two "gotcha's" that I have run into.

Ken & Nick ... any thoughts about the two of you (and anyone else?) putting the plans on paper with dimensions and instructions - and then selling the plans on our auction?

Ken's plans are available via his web site for free in a .PDF format. I converted it to a Visio file when I was planning on making it out of particle board and laminating it. All of the pieces were cut out of a single 4'x4' sheet. I think I like the "free" approach. The plans "as is" are pretty easy to follow/figure out without a huge write up...

Thanks. Yep, I know about Ken's pdf file - a friend of mine built one from his plan with hardly any mods needed. Turned out great! Any plans of posting your Visio doc with all your modifications once this project is completed? Sure looks fantastic so far!
