The wood has arrived! Everything cut and just waiting to be put together. It's gonna be a pretty busy weekend.

| Look at all this wood! |
The bad news are, the isn't wide enough for a standard Williams lockbar. A friend of mine said he's gonna make a custom lockbar for me, but this didn't work out. At all! So we decided to use a standard WPC lockbar, which is 633mm wide on the inside. Bad thing is, our cab is just 617mm wide, as we didn't pay any attention to standard sizes. I talked to Sven, the owner of www.vpin-shop.de and he told me, that he makes his cabs 630mm wide.
It didn't took long for us to come up with a solution. We decided to put a 6mm MDF board on each side, so we'll have a total width of 629mm.

We screwed the board to the side of the cab and used filler on the holes. Two passes of filling and sanding will be enough, as the sides will be covered with the decal anyway. When we're done we'll have to adjust the holes for the legs a little, but this won't be a problem.

The front part filled and sanded 4 times now and it's almost perfect. We won't do anymore on this, as it'll also be covered with a decal.

The PC drawer and the hole for the power connector were sanded and filled 5 times. This needs to be as close to perfect as it can get, as the backside will be painted glossy black.
