What in the heck is a floor top? :dunno Well, we don't have anywhere to put a bartop in our apartment so I am going to make a bartop that sits a little higher. It will be perfect height to sit in front of on the floor or preferably with bean bags. I think I am going to make a mini version of a Midway/Williams cab. http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8754 (http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8754). The custom artwork for the CP and marquee will be based on this http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/details.php?image_id=537&mode=search (http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/details.php?image_id=537&mode=search). I am undecided if I will include a bezel or not. I've already started on the artwork in Illustrator and Gimp and almost have the dimensions of the cab finalized. This may end up being a work non-stop until christmas project since my daughter would love to uncover it on christmas morning. ;D As long as I get a custom stick finished for a friend by tomorrow night (promised him) I'll start on the bartop.

sounds like a great idea with lack of room. you could also build it module.. what i mean.. is build a bartop. with a removable base. good luck and look forward to your progress.

Might not make it in time for Christmas. Woke up today feeling like I had the flu but still went at finishing the stick for my friend. I ended up butchering the box and plexi. Was trimming the front edge and my jigsaw wandered over somehow even with a straight edge clamped down. Alls I had to do was lay down the artwork and wire it up..... Figures, first box I try to sell lol. :banghead: Off to the woodworking forums! Might just wait until we move into a house, my brother offered to let me use his table saw and router. :o
