This might be a total novice mistake (that’s how I learn and why I’m enjoying this so much) but you might want to call it out for those beginning this. Then went to make the bevel cuts, and discovered that I had cut the pieces to width too short – didn’t account for the additional width required for the bevels. Not a huge deal, but might trip someone up…Ģ) More importantly, as a relative novice with a left tilting table saw, I cut the pieces to the cut list sizes (width specifically).

Am jumping on the arcade cabinet build and am about 1/2 way done – wanted to call out a couple things:ġ) In the metric PDF version of the plan, the marquee top cut list is listed as 171 mm, but the bevel diagram lists it as 173 mm.

Download the FREE plans below and the resource links provided are linked to our Amazon affiliate account, so any purchases help support the show. That said, the original inspiration came from that plan and the console layout was pretty much copied and incorporated into our design. Originally, Brian sent me a link to this Instructables plan. I was planning on simply building that version but had trouble making complete sense of the measurements, technique, and details, so I decided to scrap it and go my own way. Fortunately, that means the tools and techniques demonstrated here are much more approachable and hopefully you’ll be encouraged to build your own.

So when my buddy Brian Ibbot from Coverville asked me to help him build a bartop arcade w/ Raspberry Pi, I jumped on the opportunity.īecause I just moved to Colorado and my regular tools weren’t powered up yet, the challenge was to build this project with portable power tools only. While our two kids and business prevent us from diving into games like we used to, we’ll always be gamers at heart.

Stay tuned for part 3.Nicole and I are big gamers and we both have fond memories of early PC and console games. The next job is to route the edges and paint the whole thing. The holes are important, because the PC which is to go inside gets hot, and is not designed to go inside a nice warm wooden cabinet, so you we need as much ventilation as possible. We fitted the back panel and drilled it out with (mostly 30mm) holes. We mounted the wall bracket for this in the centre of the ‘monitor shelf’ part of the cabinet (see part 3). Then the ‘speaker shelf’ goes in, then the top.Īs a final step in the cabinet, I purchased a wall mount for a computer monitor from ebay. The two sides were attached onto the bottom panel, then the monitor shelf went in at an angle matching that part of the curved section (you may find that you have to re-position the monitor shelf a few times to get it right. It seemed to go from zero to space-invader hero in no time. This part was really satisfying, because I could start to see the cabinet taking shape really quickly. Then I cut the other panels, and clamped the whole thing together using plastic cabinet brackets. The tricky bit was the ‘curve’ section, which I drew freehand and sanded after cutting to get it just right.
Get in touch if you’d like a copy of those plans.
I cut the 2 side panels with a jigsaw, clamped together so that they both have an identical shape. Having built the basic control panel and hooked it up to a working version of MAME on the laptop, the time had come to build the main cabinet for our bartop arcade machine.
