What would you be willing to pay, after shipping, to have two of those side panels custom cut out of MDF/Plywood/Whatever? To further qualify the question, even if you have no interest in actually doing that and want to do it yourself, would mind estimating what you think that would be worth to you?

Very little. Probably less than the material and shipping would be. The reason is: if I am going to be cutting everything else (CP, back, braces, floor, marquee) I can cut the sides. I can build the arcade to the size I need for artwork and internals.
A kit would be useful, but I never choose a kit. I can't ever justify it. Sure it would speed things up, but I'm forced to shoehorn my equipment into it and hope for the best. Not to mention they cost too much. It's not that I have a lot of time. I value my time, but I don't mind cutting out the side panels. That doesn't take a lot of time in the overall build.

Well like I said; custom.
This is the problem with such a DIY community. I've got some great equipment available to me that I'd love to be able to offer services with.. it's just finding what to offer. Really for a small bartop like this we could run all the parts in a single cnc run. But doing the woodwork yourself is part of the fun for a lot of people. :dunno

Hmmm...I do have fun doing the woodwork, as I'm someone who "gets by" with the tools I have. But I'd entertain this idea, mostly for the speedier start-time, and precision. I always seem to juggle multiple projects at once, which bottle-necks me a lot, 'cause I tend to have more ideas I want to start up than time!
Yeah, custom is the key here. I would have to give you the exact dimensions which I'd figure out prior, which does makes for better planning in general. Much more emphasis would need to be taken on prototyping.
Though to the DIY crowd, cost would have to be low enough to keep us from making it ourselves, at the same time enough to be worth it to you. :dunno

Well feel free to send me a message if you're interested. I've got access to doing vinyl printing also... Could theoretically send you panels precision cut with the art already applied. That's what's so great about CNCs.. what you put in is exactly what you get out.
Send me a number and we'll see if it's do able. :cheers:
