Title: 1 Player Bartop Plans
Post by: FNwoz on March 05, 2015, 10:01:29 pm
Hey guys. I am trying to put a bartop together very similar to the one shown in the video below. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or access to similar plans. Otherwise I will just have to go to the drawing board and try and come up with them myself. I am going to use 3/4" MDF. My goal is to create a very small 1 Player bartop with only a few buttons. I am going to use a Raspberry Pi. I have a 4:3 17" lcd monitor on hand that I am going to use. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

are you opposed to buying a kit?

This is the kit I got from Haruman:

Unfortunately I already have the MDF and access to all the tools I need so I would prefer to cut it myself. That looks really awesome though. Great job on that. Pretty much exactly what I am looking to achieve just trying to do it on a budget. I saw this as well and thought it would be great to have the dimensions on this one as well.
