My 2nd bartop ( Based on ninjasquirrel's Bartop)
Rick Dangerous:
Thx :)
I used an usb arcade stick, just to spend less money :S and to fit it the cab was hard because of the curve, i have to used a lot of woodfiller. For the curved part i used laminate waisted (sorry i don't know the exact name in english), it's a magical laminated, you can make a circle with that kind of laminated, i have 1st made the sides with a curve forme + a straight form for the lcd, 2nd just fix it to the sides, i got no more pics but, in the first time, the bartop looked like a ramp for skate lol, after cuting the lcd sides i have curved them to fit like it is now. For the color i 1st used printing paint (don't know the exactl name in english), 2nd i used veneer brush paint like u said ;)
Haha the cozy is sweety too, but i showed the bartop to 10 personn, 5 liked the colors and 5 not, :S i like the colors and i will probably put some old 8bit games sticker on it :D
thx :)

Wow, that stick looks terrible. The cab on the other hand looks great. :cheers:

Lovely form, it reminds me of a typewriter with a piece of paper sticking out of it!
I agree with whats being said about the stick, an authentic stick and button set would really make this project, but you have done a great job at hiding the sticks body!
Great work, would have loved to seen the process

OMG lol i'm soooo stupid :S I forgot to put the buttons on !!!! I have to open the bartop, the only solution is to get back the wood under the bartop :-/ And btw i will probably crap the paint !!! damn !!
