Some primer pics

Here are a few pictures I took while applying primer to the cabinet.


The cabinet on it's side. Notice the bottom. I havent talked about how I made it yet, but it is simply a square cut out of the MDF, with a 1-1/2" strip of MDF around the edge. The cabinet sides and front forms a double strip for strength. The brace near the back is for added strength, and to support the cabinet if moved with a two-wheeled dolly (refrigerator mover.)
Notice the casters (one covered with paper to keep the primer off it.) I think the casters are necessary to allow you to move the cabinet easier, and to allow you to pull it out from the wall, to allow access to the back of it.
I bought the casters at Lowes, they are rated for 80 pounds each.
Notice the cardboard strips in the T-Molding slots, this helps to keep primer and paint out of the slots. If the slots get jammed with paint, the T-Molding will be very hard to install, so every precaution is taken to keep primer and paint out of the slots.


Another shot of the top of the cabinet.



The inside of the cabinet, primed. Notice the bracing inside. this will be for the monitor.


Cabinet front. The control panel is not primed yet. Got to drill the holes for the controls first.
