Title: Lowboy Arcade Machine Plans
Post by: adamd on January 26, 2014, 08:31:32 pm

Hi Folks,

Can anyone tell me if there's a final version plan of either Brazil? or Holdennut's lowboy arcade machine? 

I've seen people asking for both in old threads - and I've downloaded some for Holdenut's that seem to be ready for CNC (which would be awesome) but I'm not certain if they're final.

I'm pathetic at woodworking and I'd love to get some cut professionally.   Any advice would be greatly appreciated - If anyone else is interested in getting one cut they should contact me as well - i'm sure it's cheaper to get 2,3,4 done than just one.

I built my lowboy based on Holdenut's plans.  I don't know if hmb*rais every got posted.  Anyway.  I looked on archive.org and found these. (http://web.archive.org/web/20100331174015/http://users.on.net/~holdennut/Lowboy_Cabinet_Plans_v3.pdf)  Same as I used as near as I can tell.  I think I had same dwg files, but they didn't show how the unit goes together any better than the pdf.

I got the EPS and DWF files but I think you're right - it probably doesn't do much more than the PDF you found.

Did you hand cut yours or have it machined?   And what did you do control panel wise?  I noticed his plans include the guidelines for bending a metal one - but the  lowboy i already have had an MDF one.
