Knievel's Evolution
WaRpEd:
Excellent work as always,
When cutting the groove for the glass approximately how wide and deep.
I usually use a router with a straight edge jig I made but wondering if you use a different method?
Knievel:
About 1/4" wide x 1/2" deep.
I just flip it upside down on my table saw, adjust the blade to 1/2" high and do a few passes over it. Adjusting the fence a little each time until I get a 1/4" wide slot..
Works great and it's one less router bit change. ;)

A 75 pound bag of cement wrapped in a garbage bag, placed in the bottom can compensate.

Or an old CRT placed in the bottom... you have to do something with all those CRTs I know we've all accumulated for "the next project".

I'm thinking of trying my hand at building an arcade machine, and if mine ends up looking half as good as yours, I'll jump for joy.

I keep going back and forth on what I'm going to build for my first cabinet. When I look at the Knievel's Neon Mame, I think "that's the one I want to build!" and then I see another of Knievel's creations, and I think "No, that's the one I want to build!" So for now, this is the one I want to build. :-)
