** 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 wire-connector 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 3-foot 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 super-glued 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! ❤️
