Post by: mgb on March 03, 2015, 09:37:35 am
I just came across this online.
One of the nicest bartops I've seen

That is nice work.  The contours really put it over the top.

Snatched for the click lazy - this is really really good looking.

$1,200, though?  C'mon.

Haruman...  Get cracking on this Astro City flatpack kit!   >:D

Seriously though, this is nice looking.  I'm not particularly a fan of the screws on the bezel (perhaps the builder attached it to the monitor so that it can easily be removed as one chunk with the monitor for rotation?).

There are a bunch of places where I feel like little details were overlooked on this otherwise slick looking bartop. The screws on the cp as well, especially since you can access the wiring from under the cab. The fan on the back door that could be used to exhaust hot air and not be part of the door if it was mounted to the upper hole, the various electrical plates not inset, and the little admin buttons with their super utilitarian looking hardware and mounting.

Cool concept, mostly well done but a few details that could have been so much better.

Man, if I could figure out how to CNC that from wood... I'd be all over it.

True
You can get a full size jap can for less.

I agree on the little detail such as the screws but to be truthful, any commercially available
Bartop or full size will have those little issues

I have no issue with the screws on the control panel, especially since the originals used carriage bolts:

Get yourself an injection molding system. In 10 years time, they'll be the new CNC. You'll be ahead of the curve.
