Title: Next Project - Need 2 Dimensions
Post by: swinks on October 18, 2013, 10:16:34 PM
Hi guys

I have another few projects under way, one in which I need 2 dimensions from a Stern Cabinet if someone could help me please. Yes if I knew I was doing this I would of measured my IM before I sold it.

What is the thickness of the top panel of the backbox and what is the total depth?

On a Bally it is:
Thickness - 3/4inch or 19.05mm
Depth - 250mm

For a Stern:
Thickness -
Depth -

As for the project I won't release details just yet but if it works I am sure some of you may like it, I hope - insert praying icon........ or I will be  !@)
All I can say it is not on the market at the moment  && hence the secret stuff

Here is a photo Jady you may need some more dimensions because of the lock bit

thanks daniel, but could I ask that you or someone else sketch on a bit of paper the profile and close to measurements, then take a photo and post it please.

- is it 25mm from the top to the bottom of the lock?
- or is it 25mm with that beading edge being about 19mm, with the beading edge sitting a few mm from the top
- then a raked back section.

Maybe this will save you the photo, as these are the dimensions I need.

A =
B =
C =
D =
E =
F =

Cheers

ps - I don't need the lock bit, except maybe the width from where the bevel changes to the lock and back to where it returns back to the full bevel.

Hey mate

A= 25mm
B= 20mm
C= 3mm ?
D= 5mm
E= 15mm ?
F= 15mm ?
The ? Means hard to get an exact measurement

  On other thing the t moulding sticks up past the cabinet almost a mm

Here is what I got.  I don't know if the differences are in the measuring or in the cabinet itself?

A= 21mm (with t-moulding removed) almost 21.5mm
B= 19mm  (measured edge of removed t-moulding)
C= 3mm (widest point of removed t-moulding)
D= 4mm
E= 11-12mm (hard to measure accurately)
F= 14mm

You'd sort of think that B+D=A.  I am 2mm short which I say is the t-moulding actually sticking up past the top of the cabinet.

I'd be happy to do it again in the morning with good light and fresh eyes if you want Jady.

Ill do the same Blair been a long day a fresh mind might make a difference. 

  My measurements were with the t moulding overlap which I couldn't measure with a tape measure

thanks guys, the t moulding isn't the main focus more those cabinet measurements for the profile, really appreciate the help guys.

with research the moulding is 3/4" wide, so a general thickness would be nice to know, with thickness and width I can work out the curve.

The T-moulding at it's deepest or thickest point is 3mm. 

I measured again this morning.

A=21mm
B=19mm
C=3mm
D=4mm
E=12mm
F=14mm

Looking forward to seeing this project come to life.  It won't be for everyone but will be a pretty cool thing for those into this type of stuff.

I will get back on to this soon as minor software setback and had to fine tune the cabinet drawings which people can download and check out in 3D now - head to this link and then soon more will be released.
