2P folding bartop (Still nameless... liking a Transformers theme though)

I personally would use a piano hinge with some weather stripping rubber over it. It'll fold when the machine is closed, and cover the hinge when it's not.

Have you thought about a name for your cabinet yet?

How about Flexo?

Coolin:

Small update today.  I'm taking my time with this one, and I've been debating on how wide is comfy for 2 players with 6 buttons.  The mockup I'm fiddling with at the moment is 24 inches wide.



It feels comfortable, but I'll have to mount the actual controls to be sure.



I got my side pieces shaped up now though, rounded the corners.



The idea is that the bottom corners become the legs when in folded mode.



I cut the t-molding slots for all the pieces as well, but I have to wait to laminate and apply t-molding as I'm waiting on a new whiteside flush trim, and 5/8 blue t-molding.



Ive got the rest of the weekend to work away on this, so I hope to be able to get some of the other parts made up.

Cheers!

Ha, funny one, but no I can't impose on Bender's Futurama theme.  All I've decided as far as looks are concerned so far, is that it will have white laminate and blue tmolding.  If I can't think of anything else, it'll default to a bubble bobble theme.
