What's the percentage of people who start and never finish an arcade cab?

<< < (9/10) > >>

daywane:
I am one of those people.
started 7 cabs.
had most working, but looked like crap.
I started a Ms Pac announcements but I screwed it up, the paint looks lke a kid did it  :cry:
I have bought parts for years.
boxes of stuff in the attic.
I have decided just to paint them black with gold T-molding and be done with it
Nintendo VS uni will be my first attack on them again
I do not even have one up and running now

Dudeman:
Same here. I feel like such a bum because I haven't finished. But between working on the house, working on the vehicles, visiting family, and work (which seems to come up every freaking weekend), it's very disheartening to go into the garage to work on the cab and realize you've only got less than an hour before you have to be somewhere else.

Oh well... I'm just following in the steps of the Mission Control (just not as complicated).

bratwurst:
I finally finished my jukebox, its on the wall and working.  It got delayed more by the fact my basement flooded and had to be completely redone.

I have sides cut out for a woody clone, but its at a standstill right now.  I need to buy a biscuit joiner because I don't think my original idea of using dado joints everwhere will work.  I think with the combination of a slot cut for T-mold the dado would have to be cut way too far inside the edge.  I am hesitating on spending the $200 for a joiner, and so my project is at a standstill.

Are you using MDF? Can you use biscuits on MDF? I'm wondering if they'd swell to the point of affecting the MDF thickness, or causing seperation.

Biscuits work just fine in 3/4" MDF.
