Funny, I am usually the one getting slapped for sarcasm on this forum.

  Actually, wood is very expensive up here (funny I live in a forrest, unfortunately its all pine) because I live in the boondocks near a ski resort. Nearest Home Depot is 2 hours away. One piece of 3/4 oak plywood is $78 buck before tax. I bought two oak and one standard pieces. When I post some pics you will see why I needed so much. (Well, just picture Whamocade with rap around cp. I had to do this because of the elevated GT trackball and the box it is in plus I needed four joysticks on the third side for games like Smash TV, this took up space.   Lots of scrap that is just big enough to build a nice Foosball table.

    First the pedestal is the height of a 2x4 on is side. the cab only hangs 1 1/2" over the pedestal.

Yo Oscar! thanks for the wood working tip. Unfortunately those end joints wont work because the sides lap each other 3/4" so that I can put T-molding on them. This leaves me with a T-joint I believe its called. I was going to use wood dowels then add some simson strong ties for the inside corners. let me know if you know of any thing easier or better than using dowels. I'm open to any method that will make strong corners.

I look forward to posting pics. I done lots of planning to make it look aesthetically pleasing. It should turn out good. I have been building houses as a contractor for sevral years but my fine carpentry skills are not as good.    For example, I have never used a dowel jig.
