Hi consolas, yes it's all mdf sides are 18 mm to suit the T mold, and the rest is 12 mm just trying to keep the weight down.

Yay, another jahilton2002 build! Subscribed! :cheers:

Thank you for the kind reply. Just spotted your site - amazing projects. How do you make the mdf look like that - all glassy and shinning?
Amazing job on the street fighter! Love it! What "game" are you running there? (pc street fighter, a concealed xbox, what?)
Awesome job - amazing to believe it was your first one!

Wow, your site - mobile version - redirects to a photographer's portfolio site hehe

That is a sweet jig saw but even with that it still requires a steady hand and some skillz. Great job! Look forward to seeing this one come together. :cheers:

Looks like you've been watching too much Japanese porn ;)
-
lol funny thats what i thought when i saw the pic ;D
-
Wow :o this looks amazing. Been thinking of starting a bartop build sometime soon, would be my first time attempting anything like this (complete novice). But seeing project like this on here are inspiring. Good luck with the rest of the build can't wait to see the finished result.
-
Just an update here..... we are still around....life just caught up for a moment.......and we are also planning new cabs.... so here's a little update with the artwork we plan to use on the Bartop Arcade. The side wont have artwork as such, it will be wrapped in carbon fibre.
Thanks

Your Work is so professional and clean. loved the first Two cabs you built and this is looking sweet also. Are you looking to sell when finished?. or are you keeping this one?.
-
You are a Ace man... great MDF skills.
Love to see the end result :applaud:
-
how about some pictures that show the side better, the dimension please! looks great!! :applaud:
I have all the material to build my own bartop, but time and a good design were holding me back. love the shape of your bartop, just need a better picture from the side please.
-
Side profile and dimensions.
we might keep this for a while as we hope to do as display stand at an upcoming expo event..... if we have enough interest we'd like to go into production...... but it will most likely just be bare bones cabs (excluding pc hardware).
at the moment we are just testing and prototyping really...... the cabs will tend to be custom-offs with some sort of theme.

Wow, this is pretty neat! I love the 8-bit Space Invader cut-out. :D
-
Thanks for the fast reply,missing height. great cab once again. :applaud:
-
Well color me envious. Can't wait to try and build a bartop half as nice as the way this one is coming out. The MDF cutouts are very nice.

Excellent work. I was looking at some different ideas to build a bartop for each of my two sons. I love this idea. Where did you get the design?
:notworthy:
-
Looks great. I'm working on a bartop myself and find inspiration in your work. Thanks
-
Thanks for the kind words!
We came up with the design ourselves, taking inspiration for other builds we'd seen. If it's any help to you, here's the dimensions for the side profile of the cab.

Your... your website... It's... so BEAUTIFUL. (BTW, I'm reading your FAQ. Your statements regarding sales and legality are everything my company aspires to have. Kudos, sir. I'm not saying I'm stealing your ideas - as I was planning on doing something similar - but your words hold inspiration!)
-
Once again, thank you very much. We've alot of feedback in referance to the FAQ section of the website. Glad you like it.
cheers

Blum 170 degree kitchen cupboard/bedroom door hinge.
And not to worry, they are available in North America as well at many big box hardware chains. I've bought these at Home Depot in Canada, where they are available under a different brand name.

Sorry for being a lurker lately. We've started to catch-up with our projects now that RL is giving us some free time! We managed to get our Bartop build completed and we intend to give our Gameboy build some serious attention now!
Keep up the Great work guys/gals.
