3rd arcade cabinet with Mame and PS2
« on: February 15, 2006, 09:26:38 pm »
Started my third cabinet last month on paper.
Started building 2 weeks ago will be a 2 player setup with a 27" TV and PS2 console in a cabinet large enough to hold my games.
Rough dimensions 84" tall 32" wide and 34" built out of MDF and Plywood. Will have a curved front control panel with trackball and Happs Super 8 way joysticks. Will have black leather like T-molding, Still working on a theme and color selection.
Possible names Gamestation, Westover Arcade, Mycade.
Any ideas and suggestions?

That's a tall freakin' cabinet.  Over seven feet?  Are you a former NBA player?

Hey guys
My site which I was hosting went up in a puff of smoke along with my server. I am rebuilding the webpage and will have a new host by the first of March possibly sooner than that. I am working on restoring my backup pics and will reshoot what I can but I lost a lot of data.

I attempted to make a bow front CP out of 3/4 inch MDF. Tried to cut enough Kerfs to make the radius I wanted BUT should of known better.

Second time around I laminated 1/4 inch wood strips with a few clamps and a jig I made. I used regular yellow glue to bond everything and left in the clamps for about 2 days.
I'm in Florida so Humidity is a problem.

Another view.
The ribcage in the background is a prop from my haunted house in case anyone was curious.

Whenever I think a design like yours looks interesting, I have to slap myself in the face and remind myself that I have a total of 3 clamps in my dinky little "shop." All handmedowns. They were my grandpappy's and his grandpappy b'fore him. I like to think that my woodworking is imbued with the spiritual energy of my anscestors.

Even with my ancestral power though, I cant step to your crazily clamped contraption there.  :dizzy:

Well you can't have to many clamps.  :laugh2:
Here's couple more pics and a first mockup of the top controls.
The top measures 36 inches across and 14 3/4 inches wide at curve
Not sure if this what I want but would like a 4-way joystick for Pac-man & Donkey Kong.
Was think of a Star Wars type theme with Republic on one side and Imperial troops on the other. Or Xwing vs Tie fighter.
Input ?
My Photoshop skills :censored: lack.

Your right it would but I really want work a 4-way joystick in there maybe to the left of the spinner somehow.
I don't play a lot of Golden Tee but love Missie Command and Donkey Kong.
