I'll give you $50 for it when you throw in the towel. |

You have even less time than I do it appears. Don't weaken. And please ditch the cupholders. :) |

I'll save you $50, keep it, and finish this thing at some point. Would love to be done in 6 months, but I'll realistically say a year. I finished my entire basement on my own and that took about 2 years. |

Been thinking more about the cupholders. Will probably take them out. Have been thinking about something that would bolt onto the side of the CP perhaps??? I dunno, still thinking about it. My first order of business is to get a CP mockup made and starting drawing the base of the pedestal. I'm not sure how wide I want to make it. For sure, has to be wide enough to be stable. |

I'm looking forward to building a pedestal at some point myself too. Dr. Zero posted this a while back which is really valuable if you want a proven design. http://www.drzero.org/videogames/dynamo/ HS-15 model is what I'll be building for myself. There are plan and profile drawings in the pdf there to help with dimensions, and the control panel width for that is 36". Looks really easy to build as 2 or maybe even 3 modular pieces to be managable when apart and really stable when bolted together. No need to reinvent the wheel (unless you want to have to put 3 concrete blocks inside your pedestal to keep it stable!) Which would be fine if it works of course! |
