Moe's Arcade - My First MAME Cabinet FINISHED!

Kaytrim:
You could have used wood screws from below and they would have held nicely.  Another option would have been screw in nuts and short bolts from below.

Stobe:
Good job so far.

Next time you go to drill a CP, look into a Forstner bit.  They carry individual ones at both Lowes and Home Depot, but IIRC, only one of them carries the 1 1/8" bit.

You can also get them cheaply at MLCS (7.95).

I like this bits a lot more than spades, and you won't have the splinter problem.  (It is quite messy though, so be aware of that and wear a mask).

fjl:
I still got splinter problems when I used a Forstner bit. Maybe I should use it on my router or make the hole on a scrap piece of wood then use pattern bit to  make the hole on the cp. Guess that's kind of overkill though.

danny_galaga:


should turn out nicely (",) im hoping some of that wood panelling will remain untouched, will sort of add to the moes tavern feel...

BradC:
After creating a mockup of what the CPO will look like in Photoshop, I've decided I'm going to order it.



I'm also going to order a Marquee, and I have a great idea on something special to do for it. I'll post a mockup of that later (or maybe just wait until I get it.)
