I have built 3 similar cabinets and really really really like the size and how you can tuck it in the corner of any room but it's a lot of effort. Was wondering if it's worth looking into paying someone for the shell. --- End quote --- I paid $600 for the empty cabinet. That included laminated sides and a blank control panel. So, not exactly cheap but worth it to me. I also checked with 417 Arcade (https://417arcades.com/). They initially quoted me like $500 but never got back to me after an initial message. I would have paid for shipping with them too. Phet is local to me so that made things easier. In any case, the quality is much better than anything I could have done. I'm just not that great of a woodworker. Phet has since raised his price though. I was his first commission for this particular design and I think he didn't make much of a profit so had to up the cost a bit. |

Totally reasonable considering the time and effort involved that it saves. Plus, as far as I can tell it’s an exact replica or at least very very close. I’m jealous - I’d love a DK like this in my basement! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
