Few thoughts about my next steps
-Will sideart stick to latex based paint??
-Still am debating on running a mini fridge in the bottom..
-Thinking about running red t molding and black paint..
-After setting in the controls gotta get a piece of tempered glass cut and figure out how to do a bezel for the CRT and depending on the space between the glass and monitor how to actually make it you get that funnel effect and avoid seeing the plastic surrounding of the CRT..
I love what this guy did with his cab and might look into doing the same (light up bottom piece), and not rip off the space invader thou..need to figure out what character to do and how big to do it.

Little by little folks..I swear if not for my dad knowing his ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- when it comes to woodworking this thing would look terrible lol..So far hes put in a pull out drawer for a keyboard..getting prepped for tossing in a mini fridge on the bottom and built a frame for the glass around the monitor. Already bondoed a bunch of stuff and a bit of concern for us was bonding spots that will have to be routered for t molding and wondering will it completely flake off or will it act like wood. We test fit the big ole crt Delusional gave us and it was very tight and after taking off the base it worked out better. We need to order or make a new marquee..im lost as to what to have on it..writing Mame on it kinda seems generic :dizzy: . We spent a bunch of time trying to figure out what size bit we need for the router for the t molding..pretty sure its 1/16 and im thinking red molding and a black cabinet.

Keep pushing. The last 10% becomes grueling. Also make sure to setup realistic goals of completion. We all tend to continue working on our machines long past their "completion". Always something to do in addition.

Lookin' good! Glad that you decided to go with the big CRT monitor I gave you. :-)
I like how you chopped off the damaged edges near the control panel's base support. Looks even better that way.
