edit:  and thanks for the respect, I personally respect those who like the tinkering, but I wanna play some games, ok here are a few pictures:






there's also still pencil lines that will come off and any sharpie lines you won't see

what does anyone think?


javeryh:
Wow you've got guts!  I hope everything works out for you.  Based on the pics you posted I might be a little concerned how close you put the trackball to the edge - I'd probably be breaking my hand during Golden Tee but that is probably due to my own spazziness after I have a few beers.  ;D  Also, your button layout looks a little big but that's a YMMV thing - I only leave a 1/8" gap (or less) between the buttons but I've seen others with 1/4" or 3/8" who like it like that. 

Nice progress for one day - and metal too!  That's really cool.  How are you planning to finish the top?

struby:
well they are just pilot holes, i did it based on the sf2 layout i got off here, i think they are 1.5 inches apart center to center, 1 1/8 inch holes, so that's what, 3/8, i guess, plus the little skirts, they will be close enough I think, does it look ok, I kinda like the metal look.

edit:  and as of now, I have no extra plans besides buttons, joysticks, and the trackball to finish the top, I'm more ready to play, besides, what would I put on stainless steel, if I cover it up it would almost defeat the purpose of making it out of steal, and it does have flaws, but I think it gives it character.

struby:
catastrophic failure, did i spell that right, we didn't have the bit power for stainless steel plate, so though, we went into it with my Dad's, "the devil hates a coward" attitude, we are gonna redo it with a plexi top.
