iCade to iCard - man with no woodworking skills tries to save £50

Okay - the missus bought me an "iCade Core" for my birthday - the full iCade was on offer but I reckon £50 for some balsa wood is a bit steep, whereas I reckon for £20 for a bluetooth arcade stick with both android and iPad compatibility ain't too bad....



So - without any woodworking skills, no tools or workshop,  can I make a passable cabinet out of a decent quality card?  Unlikely, but here we go :D

BazookaJo:

Okay - congratulations - I've made a box   :-\



BazookaJo:

Must try harder....

Okay - hacked away a little to make it a bit more interesting......



BazookaJo:

Added some formers in the base to support the iCade Core + bought some adhesive PVC 'Black wood' to disguise it's humble construction - applied on the inside first...

Kiss my black Ash!!

Wow - it's like I'm right back in my local 80s chip shop....should I add cigarette burns to the case for authenticity I ask myself?
