** FAQ **

Hi everyone!

It’s been a year since I made this video and I’ve been fortunate enough to receive such overwhelmingly positive feedback along with many follow up questions on the build process. I figured it best to address some of these frequently asked questions so you don’t have to go looking for the answer in the comments below ☺

* What thickness are the acrylic panels? *
1/8th inch for each panel all around. It’s worth mentioning that I’ve built 2 additional cabinets and used 1/8th inch panels for the front to maintain rigidity but used 1/16th inch panels for the sides since they were a bit cheaper. Heads up they are flimsy / less rigid but they get the job done since I never remove the side panels.

* How did you fit the light bars into the cabinet? *
I fully inserted the connectors as much as possible into each end of the light bar then folded / bent the wireconnector 90 degrees to fit into the cabinet. It’s a tight squeeze but you can briefly see it around the 5:55 mark. Alternatively if you can buy the 3foot light bars instead for better clearance without the need to forcefully bend any connectors.

* Did you wrap both sides of the shelves in black cloth or just the top side? *
I wrapped both sides of each shelf in black cloth for the sake of uniformity. It requires more material but was worth the final outcome in my opinion.

* How is the magnetic tape holding up? *
Some parts of the adhesive magnetic tape did indeed wear off after uploading this video possibly due to weather / climate or just cheap materials. An easy solution was buying this pack of small circular neodymium magnets. I just superglued a few of them around the corners & edges of acrylic borders for a much stronger magnetic hold to the metal frame.

* How did you join the cabinets together? *
Just inserted black zip ties through the holes of the vertical metal frames where the 2 cabinets meet in the center.

That’s all for now but I’ll add more to this list if it comes to mind As always thanks so much all your kindness and support. Best of luck on your custom builds, and until next time, stay safe and take care! ❤
