I have been reading up on more ways to get a black finish. I recently came across "Aniline Dye" and was wondering what you all think of it.

Thanks,

Best way to get a black finish would be to just paint the thing a gloss black.  I think staining is going to be a no-go on this thing because of all the angles, unless you stain it before you put it together, then you risk marring the finish in the assembly process.  How are you fastening it together?  Also, the minwax stains NEVER come out half as dark as they look on the can or the samples.  I don't know much about the dyes though.  Don't you have to spray those on?

Looks a little top heavy to me.  I t just looks out of proportion with the top being so bulky compared to the base.

What is the point of the triangles?

I say paint it, I think it would look better painted than stained anyway because of the design.

Also, t-molding is going to be a pain to put on because of the angles.

interesting though.  I will definitely follow this build

Interesting design!

The footprint does look a little small for all that weight at the top.

Also, the left player looks to have a very awkward view of the screen.

Good Luck!

I have a laser graved, edge lit marquee.  I think it looks cool.  Tried to do 2 colors, but it didn't turn out as great as I wanted to because one of the colors, yellow, just wasn't bright enough.  The other color, red, looks great though. 

I applied tint to my screen plexi and to my marquee.  So when its off its completely black.  Looks neat.  I'll post a picture later.
