I just wanted to let you know I am working on a new bartop. That's probably why you haven't heard much from me lately.

I don't wan't to reveal too much, but the new design has taken me 3-4 times longer to design and it has no wood in it at all

Im really looking forward to showing you some jpeg's in a few days.

No wood, this could be very interesting. Can't wait for the pics

I need to post in this thread so I see it when I look at updated posts. Besides that, I'm starting the poll. Who thinks the entire bartop will be made out of acrylic? (NO WOOD?!)

yes, yes, and what if the core is made of cheese?

I have stolen the plans to the core, and no, it's not made of cheese.

Looking forward to your project posting.

Glad to hear you're looking forward to seeing what Im working on.

Im about 95% finished with designing the project now. When I am 100% finished I will post lots and lots of pictures of making the cabinet. I even have most of the parts by now. Here is some of the parts:

UltraStik 360 from Ultimarc and Sanwa 24mm buttons and the is no artwork

I'm going with a clear plastic idea, possibly running LEDWiz with some internal lighting.

I'm thinking plastic/vinyl Vewlix Bartop.

Here's my guess: (ha ha just kidding - can't wait to see the finished product)

It's got to be all clear plastic - I'm interested in how thick and heavy it will be completed. The thicker the better. Maybe even lucite. Sick idea!!!! If it's what you are doing. Great, now you're gonna have me thinking about the MysteryCade LOL!!!!!!

jipp · « **Reply #13 on:** November 18, 2010, 08:12:00 pm »

yeah im thinking clear plastic with neon lights. i have a guitar like that.. it sucks for tone but is cool none the less as art. heh. if its not plastic, ill say some kind of go go gadget type of cab.. built into a bar table.

cant wait.

If it is acrylic I hope he gets some cool laser etching done on the side and lights it up like the sun.

orchidius · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2010, 03:19:24 pm »

So that's settled then, Lokesen, the cab will be made out of plastic, you heard us? PLASTIC I TELL YOU!!

lokesen · « **Reply #18 on:** December 13, 2010, 01:44:41 pm »

Sorry about the delay

All the materials are ready now and I am only waiting to get some special CNC cutting done. Unfortunately the company that does this for me are very busy at the moment, so it's just out of my hand at the moment $:-\$

Really, really looking forward to post pictures of me putting the cabinet together

Hope it's just in a week or so, crossing my fingers.

Enough with the teasing already, at least show us black and white outlines or something!

javeryh · « **Reply #20 on:** December 14, 2010, 10:46:00 am »

Seriously dude - I want to start planning a bartop but I need someone to copy!
