Paint after installation of the guides, especially if you are also going to paint the inside, you want wood-wood connection for gluing and screwing :)

That’s what I was thinking. Grain to grain is probably best. I probably shouldn’t have even have sanded.

What do people use for guides usually?  4x4?

Whats 4 x 4 when it's at home, It Sounds like a rubix cube I haven't figured out how to solve yet.  I'm going to guess its centimetre measurement so nominal of about 1.5" x 1.5"  In which case yeah that will do it :) I'm a fan of 2" x 1" myself

Did you do screws as well?  Or just glue?

If yes on screws what size/type?

My wood for the sides is 3/4” and I got 2x1”s.

Gorilla Glue (or best quality wood glue you can find) and then size 3x30mm screws.   https://www.screwfix.com/p/turbogold-pz-double-self-countersunk-woodscrews-3-x-30mm-200-pack/14801 (Counter sunk 3mm into battoning)

How far between screws?  If I screw it from the inside, do I even need to countersink them?

could use these screws for half the price, used them on my bartop No.2

https://www.screwfix.com/p/goldscrew-pz-double-self-countersunk-woodscrews-4-x-30mm-200-pack/18909

i didnt used batons, screwed thru the side to the base, then filled, spaced my screws roughly 2.5-3" apart.

Your using ”real wood”, not mdf. Only screws will do the job as long in my opinion, but at least the parts you want to still take loose dont glue :). Always drill a small hole before screwing to avoid cracks 👍😎.
Try to avoid screws from visible side, if you need to, just countersink them and use filler before painting. Inside you dont need to worry how it looks, just paint👍.

A good glue joint is stronger than screws and the wood. A screw joint will fail before the glue does, and the wood will fail somewhere else before the glue joint does. That doesn't mean that screws are bad. They just don't hold as well as glue.

I've always heard screw and glue, so I'll be doing both.   :cheers:

+1 to this.  "Glue before your screw" is in the woodworkers ten commandments.  I think it's right behind "Always predrill your holes".

My point in not using glue is that if you need to take something apart its not easy if you have glued it. So, dont glue those parts 👍🙂

When you pre-drill I found this nice chart for size of drill bit to screw so I’ll leave that here for my reference later.

I started to put the guides on today, and it was going pretty well.



Then I noticed something... one of them did not leave the 1 1/2” gap between the end and the guide board...  :hissy:



If anyone wants to know, wood glue is some quality stuff. That stuff wasn’t coming off.   :angry:

So I went to Home Depot but thy have to follow silly OSHA and can’t cut me a 3/8th inch wide cut of wood almost 5’ long.  :blah: 

So I made due:



Anyways, it seemingly worked, and I now have both sides 1 1/4” away from the end. The only damage should be that the back panel, after attaching the 3/4” board, will have a 1/2” instead of 3/4” like the rest of the cabinet.



I guess if I had ton make a rookie mistake, at least it was on the back.  :dunno

Got the nerve to finish the guides and drill all the holes, and hit both sides with 120 grit.  :D

Just need to put the screws in, do a 220 grit sanding, and then paint the sides... I think?  ???



I feel like I’m missing a guide or two.. bottom marquee... one for the monitor... and maybe the bottom part of the “arm?”  ???

I’m going to search others projects, but please pipe in if you see anything!  :cheers:

   Fixing problems is half the battle, Relax, and  think out every move before you commit, Its hard not to get nervous and second guessing your thoughts now that you see it going together.... A template can be made from those panels in the event of major design  issue, so effectively you cant really mess it up now that all the hard work is done,  It could be considered easier to just start over at this point if your not happy about something. you didn't plan on rather than fight it, I have built some complex builds as many as 5 times to just have it right, no shame in that as long as your learning from your mistake ..... You should really lay some rags over those sawhorses however so you don't scratch up your wood (although that can be fixed too just less work).

Looking good!
I agree with Jenn, dont let the mistakes bog you down, Ive made so many I cant count that high.
I chalk it up as experience.
But as far as your fix, looks like that will work. I dont think anyone (but you) will notice the small difference in the back panel, just dont tell anyone about it.

Good job so far.

I`d stick some screws in them rails, just for peace of mind. Theres a lot of force on them when moving a fully loaded cabinet around...,

For the billionth time, glue joints are stronger than screw joints. I just use glue and a brad nailer just to hold stuff in place until the glue dries.

^ He speaks the truth -- The screws are only there to hold the wood in place while the glue dries once it dries the 2 pieces of wood will break elsewhere before the glue joint breaks.

But glue joints arnt stronger than glue and screw joints...that's my point

But when the glue joint by itself will hold until after the wood itself breaks elsewhere adding the screws later is just a waste of time and money !

Not to start a new fight, but it’s screwed and glued down now....Also took the router on the sides, and the T-molding fits  ;D I don’t know why I was worried but I was.



It looks like people usuallly assemble their cabinet before painting, but then do they not sand between paint coats?  Or just hand sand? I may just sand 220 grit on the sides tomorrow, then cut the outside pieces of the cabinet and sand the outside of those  before I start to assemble.

I’m also debating still cutting a small piece on the back for venting the bottom of the cabinet by  the computer, although I’ve been told it’s not needed... some with the back top portion because heat rises... right? I would like to hear someone who did it, their opinion on if it was worth it or not.

I also need a plan on how I’m going to access the back of the cabinet on the top for the marquee if needed ever, and the bottom for the computer and power.

About the access to top for marque and access to computer i would make a) doors with hinges, or b) 2 pieces with screws that can be removed. On my project i made both, for computer i have a door on front and for marquee, backside of tv and amplifier etc. i can remove a piece from the back by screwing 4 screws.

It’s  been a while so I had to do something to keep this project rolling.



Nothing sexy this time. Sanded everything to 60 grit and 120 grit.

Do I dare do 220 too?

I'm not seeing any pics but if you are talking about the bare wood then yes, definitely go to at least 220.

Sanded everything with 220 grit. Glued, screwed, and assembly is started.  Hopefully everything will stay together overnight before I put the two sides together.

Starting to take shape:



I did make a mistake and now keep the clamps on long enough for the glue apparently, so I used wood filler to fill it in.  :hissy:



I’ll have to cut the door a little more to fit the new shape, but I’m hoping it won’t be so obvious to the eye once I sand it ... plus it’s on the back...  or I guess I could cut the actual side frame piece as well to make the hole a rectangle again....  :dunno

Holy sh*t this never ends.  :censored:  usually my projects go about 400% over my estimate, this is going to be 4,000%.

Added bottom and upper back slant, which needed a bevel cut, and I’m proud to say I didn’t screw it up... too bad.

Used wood filler in a bunch of the gaps, and did a full 60/120/220 grit sand job.

I'm getting close to putting the back door on with hinges, cutting a hole for the coin/vault doors, creating the speaker, mount and then the wooden TV bezel.  That being said.. I will need to start to work more on artwork.

I know we have a sticky in the art forum section and various links to vector art, but almost none of the links work and the ones that do are either MAME arcade art or retro arcade art.

Aside from making my own vector art, are there any current links that work or that people are using to help create some of their artwork?

Looks good.  I'm having luck with art on the DeviantArt forums.  There is a place to post commission requests.  Good luck - the art makes or breaks the cab.

Sounds good!  Any recommendations on who to use for printing/what material to use?

Also, any good instructions you've found to make your own bezel?  I found a couple links but they are all dead now.
