Front Template

The goal for the first night was simple - all I wanted to do was create a template for cutting out the front and back panels of the jukebox.

The dimensions of the template are as shown in the picture and it is made out of 3/4" thick MDF. You can buy a 24"x48" panel of MDF at Home Depot for about $6.

The only real tricky part about making the template was cutting out the curve with my router and circle cutting jig and having it transition perfectly into the straight sides.




The pictures below show the final template. I came pretty close to perfect but the transition from the curve to the straight sides is off by a little - you really can't tell though.

Next up is cutting out two identical panels to be used to help form the overall shape of the jukebox.
