Coming together

Alrighty, sorry I havent updated in a while. I actually got this jukebox finished, but I will try to posts some pics and a little explaining to catch anyone who is interested up to speed.
Here is a picture of the front with speaker holes cut out.
I made this out of 5/8" particle board. I wish I had used 5/8" MDF but I went with the particle board so it would cut down on the weight.






















I later cut out the partitions between the speakers, then made speaker boxes out of some 3/4" MDF board I had left from previous projects.















The speaker box will also serve as a shelf for the monitor to set on.
The brace across the back of the speaker box is temporary. Just holding everything together until a later time.
I also made mounts for the monitor. I used MDF to make spacers to hold the monitor the proper distance from the front to allow it to be flush on the outside. I used 1/4" carriage bolts runing through the front panel and the spacers. I will attach the monitor to these bolts using L brackets.















In the last pic you can see also see ribs that I made to go along the inside edge of the front panel. These are to attach the skin to. I glued them and used wood screws. Also in this picture you can see the small 8/32" bolts around the marquee frame. I will use mirror clips on these bolts to hold the marquee in.
