it is small!

I put cocktail cabinet, but i meant coffee table.
top is cut to fit a 32" x 22" glass for a ms. pacman machine.

No drawings of the finished product tho, my plan is basically a doodle with some rough measurements in my notebook!.

I like to play it by ear.

buttons turned up and i've temporarily fitted them to a plywood cp.

The actual cp is going to be 3/4" mdf with the art routed in and covered with 2mm acrylic.

main box is complete, without lid attached,
scale is provided by a cheap hp usb keyboard!

Is that a perspective issue, or are your front admin buttons off-center?

perspective, there centered, the artwork is also centered which i think is a problem. should i offcenter the cp graphic or keep it the same?
