Yup, the Mamey people have it.  I give it a rousing "joystick up".  E-mailed his web page link to the other 'judges'.  So far, 2 joysticks up and 3 unaccounted...  whoops I should check e-mail before I post: 3 in favor, 2 uncounted.  That makes it a winner, although I'm going to wait till I hear back from the other two dudes before I post it up.  (judge #3 adds that she voted yes because the woman there allowed it in her kitchen, so it can't be too bad!!)

Time to get ready to add this to the cocktail page...

here is a pic of Tory taken after two coats of poly :)


It appears that you've used a satin poly on Tory.  I think you would have had better results if you'd have used a few thin coats of Semi-Gloss on her, with perhaps a few clear coats on top....wet sainding between coats.

Do you think, though, that she'd sit still for all those applications?  ;)  ;D



And my opinion:

That is one emmer effin SWEET cabinet!  It truly ISN'T a "cocktail" cabinet, that's a Highball cab! 

I really like the idea of controls on each side, the only thing different I might have suggested would have been, instead of using casters, to set the thing up on a lazy susan.  I REALLY like the overhanging glass idea as well. 

Kudos

Nice work! that would be great watching TV while eating dinner on it, or have some romantic mood lighting on screen with the lights down low, while chowing down, this thing is more than just a mame machine for sure.

I dub this cocktail
"Giganto-MAME, The 4 sided 32-inch arcade table"

Not only is it sleek and elegant, it takes advantage of the unique oportunities only available to cocktails : to use all 4 sides as seperate control panel layouts and use both vertical and horizontal viewing angles, and with it's extra-large screen both the vertical or horizontal have a big impact. A masterpiece of MAMEgeneering.

And it's a kitchen table!

I dig it,
Craig

Now if an entire resturant would have tables like this - the arcade industry could thrive again!

Really though, that table is amazing.  :o  Excellent work.

What kind of cooling / ventilation system do you have in place? (if any)  I would imagine a monitor of that size would generate some considerable heat.

#2 I want a video with the cat gaming against you and kicking your butt!  :P

#3 Where is the button to push for the top to sink inside itself and flip over to show us the bumper pool table?  ;D

Well done, the monitor and sheer size alone sets it apart.

Love the cab.  Very nice.  Watch TV while eating, play games while eating, surf the web while eating.  You better get some real comfortable chairs.

Tell me more about that spinner.

Haha you beat me to it, I was going to suggest you get a felt sheet and some sort of wall to turn it into a pool table  :P Kinda like those el-cheapo 10 in one games tables except not el-cheapo. That is a really fantastic dining table cab by the way, well done  ;)
