Hey how did you fabricate the front plexiglass cubby hole for the admin buttons. Thats really some nice handywork.

Wow, just noticed your question here. Sorry.
The recessed slot was cut all the way through the MDF with a 2 1/4" forstner bit at the ends, and I cut the middle out with a jigsaw. I smoothed everything down flat with a drum sander in my drill press. Then I radius the edges with a roundover bit in a router. The buttons are mounted to a 1/4" piece of plywood, which is mounted to the inside of the CP. The opening in the plexi was cut with a router with a 1/8" roundover bit, using the CP as the pattern. I then flame-polished the edge of the plexi opening to give it that crystal clear smooth look.
This cabinet is for my little girl, so the recessed buttons keep her from accidentally ending her game.
Oh, and thanks so much for the compliments.

Yeah, I like that, too. I wanted the buttons mounted in front, but I thought that people would accidentally hit them. This is a great way to mount the admin buttons. I think I'm going to do something like this with my cab.
