I couldn’t wait for the final plans for the jukebox, so we went ahead and got started using the Quick Start Framing diagram.

Great starter project for my two oldest kids (11 & 12 yrs old) and my 7 year old got involved as well with some drilling and screwing! It was a really good time and a chance for them to learn some basic construction principles and tool usage.

The jukebox cabinet is bigger than we expected it to be but it turned out great! We’ll be staining and sealing next week to finish it out.

One comment: after finishing construction, we measured the height from the “desktop” to the back, upper member. It measured out at 14.25″ which provides limited headroom for the LCD monitor. If you like to have your monitor back as far as possible (like me), then consider modifying the plans to accomodate this. I haven’t seen any monitors that are low enough to fit under the back board.

Have fun building.
