Bish's Oak Bartop Touchscreen
bishmasterb:
This is my attempt at a touchscreen bartop. It's made of red oak with a matching control panel for MAME and Windows games which will have an I-PAC built in and attach to the screen via USB. The touchscreen is a capacitive Planar 17" open-frame model which works amazingly well and looks beautiful.
It will be finished with Minwax Jacobean stain (very dark) and a few coats of satin poly.
The computer is a Dell Dimension P4 and will not be built into the case, but rather will be located in a utility room behind my gameroom in the basement. The AV cables will be passed through an outlet box in the wall.
I'm using Lave Laar's excellent touchscreen front end called SimpleTouch.
The bottom pic is the prototype I built for testing and software configuration.

Shot with the back panel on.

That looks pretty good.

Looks cool - original too. Will that wood putty/filler stain and blend in to the final product? I hope so because I've got to do some repairs on something and I'm hoping the stain comes out evenly... :cheers:
bishmasterb:
Just put some stain on it.
