CNC Cut Bartop Kits - Orders Open! New Models Available!

[HaRuMaN]

Yeah, we had a good time. The "Thong Alert" was my favorite!

I hereby rescind by request for pics, if any of these include Haruman or Yotsuya in a thong.

Twas not us. 

[yotsuya]

Trust me, it was a chick, and you should have see DAT ASS attached to it!

[Rick]

Trust me, it was a chick, and you should have see DAT ASS attached to it!

Was it, perchance, a "Booth Babe"? Or, just some girl with a visible thong?

Option B. I actually know a booth babe and tried to get HaRuMaN to hire her, but this year's budget didn't allow for it. Look for his Booth Babe Kickstarter next spring!

I wish I was closer...sound slike a blast.

by the way, that Galaga is so ---smurfing--- awesome!  I just HAD to order one..with the artwork..

That Donkey Kong is awesome, too. 

So many talented people out there making this hobby great long after arcades have come and gone.  Good news for people like me with ZERO artistic and woodworking skills.  Being 44, I've spent countless quarters in actual arcades back in the day.  I like the new games as much as anyone, but there is still something special about firing up a game of Galaga or DOnkey Kong.

The Galaga was a crowd favorite, people really dug the artwork & the form factor.  I tried to keep as close to the original Midway profile as possible.

Hey man, where's my top secret project that we discussed at ZapCon at? 

[Rick]

Haruman Customs Thong? CafePress is almost complete.

I have an awesome thong model HaRuMaN COULD use if he went that route, but this is something definitely different...

Shooon!

You got those measurements, right? I was as precise as I could be. Precision is going to be critical.

"Do you want a thong? Because that's how you get a thong!"

[yotsuya]

Once you get it designed, HaRuMaN, let me know the dimensions so I can order the vinyl.

[HaRuMaN]

[yotsuya]

I am, it's Rick who's fascinated with thongs!

Hey, regarding retainers, plan one type as slot cut, the other as using original parts. Regarding power, on the one I built, I didn't cut a slot for a cord. I think a small cutout notch on the bottom back would suffice. It's better than using an IEC connector. Much smaller.

Any chance the tops could be black melamine and the sides raw MDF for painting/vinyl application? 1/2 or 3/4?

[HaRuMaN]

hmm... interesting ideas...

[yotsuya]

Yeah, see, that would be perfect for 95% of the projects out there.

[Malenko]

mannnnnn raw sucks for paint and vynil. I have a V1 kit done  (Bonnie's Pink Box) and 1 in progress (still) Bobby's TMNT project, if the parts weren't held in with batons , the thing I'd hate most would be the sides. Took a lot of work to get the sides super smooth on both cabs. Ive now done a couple V2+ cabs and the vinyl goes on the sides perfectly with a nice smooth melamine surface.

True, but I've used automotive primer with great results. This project we've discussed is going to be out of 3/4 MDF for best flexibility.

Yup yup...

Yup yup...

That reminds, me, where the hell is my top secret project?

[Rick]

... MDF for best flexibility. 

I wonder where we've heard that thought before...

  Keep up the awesome work

Hmm, what's that you say?

[yotsuya]

Yeah, it sounds funny, but I enjoy watching that dude dance. 

[Rick]

How can you hate it, when there are SO MANY OF THEM!!! IT'S HYPNOTIC!!!

[yotsuya]

I imagine Rick was dancing like that when his first set of kits was finished. 

So when can I pick up the prototype for Top Secret Project?

Just picked it up today... should be ready for you on Monday.

Damn, from casual conversation to working prototype in only a week and a half!

[HaRuMaN]

Yup!  I gotta tweak one for myself, should be pretty sweet.  Even have a place picked out for it.

Nice. Let me know if you need a SKU for the illumination.

Oh, yeah, forgot to tell you, I ordered the vinyl for the sides last night. I already have some for the top.

Yeah, let me get that...

[yotsuya]

Hmmm... can't find it online, but I'm stopping at the store after work today to pick one up anyway, so I'll get it for you then.

[Rick]

Yeah, let me get that...

Get a room, you two. (I swear, it's like old people doin' it in here.)
