CPickler:
thanks

crsdawg:
i've also used screws mounted from underneath for awhile (and i've built a crapload of cp's), no problems. you'll be surprised how strong it is.

use a screw that's just barely shorter than the depth of you top and predrill the hole. make sure the bit you use to predrill is the right diameter. if it's to wide you will have problems.

Xiaou2:

 depends on the thickness of the wood, type of screw... and the abuse you apply.

 Try an intense hour of robotron.   Ill bet you tear a few screws loose on that game.
(unless you have 1" thick oak cp)

Actually mine are 1x Poplar (which is only 3/4" thick).
I've even recessed my Tron sticks by about 1/4", or so, and never had anything come loose.
I did have to knock the points off the screws for the Tron sticks, to keep them from coming through the top of the CP.

Welded studs to the inside of my metal control panel. :)
