polaris:
hope ive got this right

polaris:
wasnt sure if i could attatch the pic.
see the red line thats a piece of timber , the light brown line represents the velcro, you attatch the opposite velcro to a piece of glass and it just holds on, i had a 2 ft bearded dragon that used to launch at the glass an it never even moved.
so youd have four doors which are easy to remove , much less fiddly than the sliders.
really bad pic but this is the only one of the dragon sleeping upright holding what would be the red piece i indicated on the pic.
reckon its ok to post bout this here, its as close to an arcade machine as a card table is.

superbigjay:
Thanks Polaris for the velcro tip.
when come the time, I'll test both (sliding + velcro) to see which solution
I prefer...
My only concern with the velcro solution is that you will see it through the window... That's the only drawback (cosmetic) I see for that solution...

hmmmm I'm not sure Rascal is really sleeping.
Have you seen the picture taken few minutes after you left... :laugh2:

If you have any more advice/picture, let me know here or via a PM. :cheers:

:laugh2:
bless him i dont think hes ever seen a lady dragon.

the velcro looks quite clean through the glass as your looking at the back of it so its smooth i glued it on with epoxy glue, ill see if i can get a photo from its present owner, i used cream velcro , it follows the lines of the cab around the edges if you get me, not unlike t molding

superbigjay:
Yeah! I finally have my first 2 pieces for the uroMAMEstyx cabinet! :applaud: (You can see them in the pic below).

I've left the protective film on because I still have to cut a 14" circle in each panel for my side LOGO. In fact, I will probably leave it on until the last minute...

Tonight, everything went well. No surprises, no extra scratches were added to the project. :cheers:
Before each cut, I was removing all dust from the panel and applied 2 ply of masking tape.
Again, you can see the masking tape on one of the picture.

BTW, I received all my LEDs today. I got one pack of 100's yellow LEDs and 8 feet of LED strip. The LED strip will be used to illuminate the side LOGO.

Here, I'd like to thank Knieviel for the LED strip suggestion to replace the yellow neon ring that I couldn't find anywhere :notworthy:

Here the general idea for the side logo.
- cut 14" hole in the panel.
- mount 4 feet of LED strip along the circonference of the hole
- flush mount one white plexi and one clear plexi (transparent plexi will be flush with SS surface)
- insert LOGO between the white and clear plexis

This will give and illuminated LOGO that will be flush with the side panel surface. It's kind of a side marquee ;D

Oh and before I go, I'd also like to thanks all those jigsaw blades that gave their best at doing what they do best : cutting metal!!! Rest assure, your sacrifice will not be forgotten :P

Enough for tonight.... It's getting late!

Bonne nuit!
