Control Panel Visual Walkthrough?
GAtekwriter:
Chad,
My question was whether there was a visual walkthrough, which I have not found. I've done plenty of searches and read dozens of threads.

Hey Jim have you read this tutorial by Timoe?
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=51235.0
I usually point people to it when they ask how I made my templates.
As for carving the holes in your plexi I use a router with one of these bits..

It allows you to plunge through the plexi and carve it out without pre-drilling a hole.
Big time-saver and cleaner than a drill bit.

Is anyone aware of a visual walkthrough of drilling a control panel? Pictures? Video? I'm a brave sort, but I want to make sure I'm drilling and cutting wood and plexi properly, as well as CPO.
Thanks, all.

Knievel,
That is EXACTLY what I am looking for... thank you VERY much.
The problem us newbies have with this board is that it's been around so long - so much good stuff is out there but it's buried and even a good search can be too much to sift through.
Thanks again.
Jim
