Agree with snyper2099, having built a cab from scratch a few years back. Just when you think you have made all the proper cuts, have all the holes routed, channels cut for the playfield glass inserts, etc. you will mostly likely find something that you missed. Though you won't know until your going back together again.

I built the one pictured in the garage using basic carpentry tools, power saw, router w/stand, drill, drill press, etc. Made a router table out of couple of saw horses and a sheet of 3/4" plywood, using an edge clamp for the straight cuts for both the saw and router.

You're probably aware, but make sure to find Cabinet grade plywood, preferably the 5 ply / layers variety in true 3/4 inch. Won't be cheap, but it will save you a ton of hassle later when you go to finish the cabinet. The big box store plywood variety is not a good choice (9-14 layers/ply) as the edges splinter easily, and probably not true 3/4 inch (at least locally). This can/will cause headaches if you don't take that approx. 1/8 inch side to side variance into account.

Attached are a few pictures.

Also, can someone advise if the TAF cabinet uses a locking miter joint for the cabinet corners? I am not sure.
