Custom Bartop arcades

[Nitrografix]

Hey guys I'm new here & I'm gonna probably have many questions on how to get my mame to work but I was thinking last weekend & looking on eBay, I know u can custom (or non custom for the matter) buy a tabletop or Bartop arcade kit.  I have a diy cnc machine that I built about a year ago & have used it to cut out my whole cabinet.  I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in buying a Bartop kit(all the wood only) to custom build an arcade cabinet.  I'm kind if pondering the idea of making some and a little cash on the side.  The ones I have seen have been anywhere from 2-300 I figured I could try my best to cut the price a bit.  Not trying to step on anyone's toes, just pondering, lol.  Let me know what u guys think thanks

tough sell with this being your first post.  Missing a bunch of details too, where are you located, what materials, any issues with angles curves, tmolding slots, etc,etc,etc.

Im sure 404 will read this post as me saying you arent allowed to sell them.

Welcome! We have at least 4 guys now that cut cabinets for people - 1 in AZ, 1 in MI, 1 in the South, and 1 in Canada. So if you're in a different region, that might help. You definately should post samples of your work - these guys have really honed their skills and create fabulous things (I've bought 6 kits myself from HaRuMaN), so you really need to bring something to the table. I'd check out their posts and see if you still want to go through with it.

Good luck!

Lol, I understand everything u guys are saying, I live in nky close to Lexington, Cincinnati, & Louisville.  When I get mine finished I'll throw some pics on here I went to school for engineering and I'm always tinkering with this machine I built.  Like I said, just pondering on the idea.  I actuLly found the plans for the "paradise arcade III" cabinet & that's what I cut out for my first one.  The only thing I had to do was cut about a 1/4 on the inside radius' that I had made for some of the pieces to fit together.  Since a round bit won't cut an inside square angle.  Other than that everything fit together like a glove.  I'll post some pics in a week or so thanks guys.  Also the tabletop cabinet I liked a lot so far was some guy selling them on eBay from the UK.  I thought I'd start there and redraw some of his work not sure what his name is but they look pretty good!
