DIY New cabinet design

[Stunted]

The Control Panel has been put on hold, the parts required I cant get just yet.

Anyhow if you look at this cabinet I have made and think you cannot build one similar yourself then you are mistaken.
My woodworking skills are second to everyone, I dont like it and just generally really suck at it.
And to make things harder I have degenerative disc disease in my back and neck.

So not only do I suck at woodwork I am also very movement impaired (this is why it has taken me so long to build this cabinet) and well if I can then so can you.

Also there where not a lot of tools used in construction, many of the main parts were cut to size at the place of purchase. Some cuts I had to pay for but many I did not .So when you go to buy your timber you should already have the exact sizes you need written down so it can be cut at the store.

The two 90 degree corner clamps in the picture below proved to be the best $10 I spent, they made it impossible to stuff up the joints so everything fit together nice and square.

So with nearly all pre-cut timber I only needed to use the tools shown in the picture below.


I would also recommend you use Google Sketch up (the free version) as I did, this will get you all the timber dimensions you need. It will also allow you to chop and change your cabinet design until it's to your liking.

You can download it from http://sketchup.google.com/

That is an awesome grow cabinet! Very well done. Looks like you have gone all out.

I hope it turns out good for you

Thanks Auto-snooch,

It has been a long road but the end is in sight now, just have to get my grow medium sorted and learn to read first and add later.
Got to be better than add craploads first then don't read anything and neglect them, which is what I have done to my current grow (I shouldn't call it a grow as there is not much "Growing" happening )

haha i hear ya! I am on the same path. I always learn the hard way too but i think i am beginning to understand things a little better.

I am also working on a few things at the moment. nothing as awesome as yours. cant wait to see how the control panel turns out.

and the lovely resinous buds of course

Found what I need, just need to find where to get me two of these:

At the start of Jan some time I will be installing a 125mm x 400mm Carbon filter, this will be installed in the left side of my cabinet as the stench of flowering plants is outta hand according to she who must be obeyed!
And since the left side was made partially modular I should not have to cut or move anything except the CPU fan.



So the control panel gets shoved back some more, I am sure if I try really hard it should be completed by next Christmas.

Nearly finished.....wrecking it

Nice work stunt-man! That is going to save
You so much worry. I really could not believe
Just how effective they are until I tried one for
myself.

Thanks Auto-snooch and L3V3R

I have decided to remove all the CFL gear from the left side, my carbon scrubber should be here within a week and I also have some other plans for the left side

And like normal I have no real plan of action, it's more like hack and pray it all works how I want it to
