    Totally awesome build. Never stress about or underestimate pocket holes. I know lots of woodworkers frown on them or say they are "traditional joinery". Lots of antique furniture that is beautiful has pocket holes. They were just hidden better than they are now. I use them alot for their convenience and strength. Love you videos and would love to see a full lathe rebuild/restore one day.

    Very nice looking but I think the controller table should have a small angle, not 90, and have a round over to not hurt your wrist/forearms. Also I would be worried about someone getting too much into the game and applying to much pressure on the controller table, since the screen section is acting as a stop, it will absorb all the impact and will eventually break.

      @@dustinm2364 Yes, I've thought about making and selling this and other things but the problem is that I live in South America so shipping to the USA would cost more than the product . Otherwise I would be selling things on etsy.
      I could sell these locally but they won't sell well because people here either can't afford it or have more important things to spend their money on like food and rent .
      So unless shipping becomes more affordable, or if the client is able and willing to pay for the high shipping prices, I'm out of luck.
      Ideally, it would be awesome to find someone to fund me to make a container full of these, ship them to an Amazon warehouse and you could just order them straight off of Amazon with free two day shipping to your door. Since shipping these in bulk would help reduce the shipping costs significantly .

    Okay folks - if you are in Australia, 18mm plywood is more common. The best way to tackle this is to make the side frames measure 210mmx598mm and the top frame 210x574m. The setout dimensions for hinge holes etc will need to change. All other dimensions can stay the same. Haven't built it yet, but did sketch it out in 3D to check the impact of changing to 18mm thick ply. Hope it helps! Glad I could support this awesome project by buying the plans!

    Nice job, looks really good. I have a concern, heat. There is no ventilation for any of the electronics. The monitor creates heat, and so does the electronics for the RPi. May not be an issue for short use, but if you have a party, it could get hours of use. There are links to how to help with heat on the RPi (heat sinks, etc). Just my thoughts.

    For the locking mechanism: you can 3D print a knob, pause mid print and insert a bolt. This way you can get 3d printed parts with metal bolts inside :) just make sure to add a support structure underneath that allows the bolt to be inserted or use z hopping to print around it :) (and use a hex screw of course)
    I did this with nuts to make my own knobs that are easy to turn with your hands, look great and have text on them :-)

    That dowel that is functioning as a hinge, it is not meant to take a shear load like that, especially if you're resting your forearms on it. Furthermore, as you open-and-close it, the dowels will quickly wear out. And good job on that wire loom, it's very tidy!

  • @KeithOlson

    Nice build! A few thoughts:
    1. Add a couple of recessed buttons on each side near the front and one one the front-right for pinball machine emulation.
    2. Drill out the hole for the catch a little larger and insert a small piece of (flared, preferably) copper tubing. That will prevent the brass pin from wearing out the wood.
    3. Add a handle near one edge of the (closed) front to both make it look more like an cabinet and give you something to hang onto when removing it. (To protect that last corner. :grin: )

    I would put hidden gas lift arms on the swing out controller panels so it can slowly flip out. Great work!

    This is totally epic - I've been scared to even make my own shelf, nevermind something as beasty as this - but such a brilliant project! Is there a way that you can do something to show a keen but complete newbie to do basic skills, like which tools should be used for which jobs, and why...? It makes complete sense watching yours but I wouldn't know where to start! Thanks, great stuff.

    Wondering if it holds up when being leaned on? Possibly building from your awesome design soon!

    Awesome video; I was thinking about either getting me or building an arcade for my TV room, and this is exactly what I need.
    Bought the plans, and already made the adjustments as 16mm plywood is not standard here (we get 15mm). Also, don't have the lamello biscuit machine, so I'll improvise. I do have a 3D printer willing to get used for the first time though ;)
    The only thing that concerns me is that I don't see any breathing holes that may help disipating heat. The Pi might get a bit hot, specially if you start adding more demanding games.

    You did such a neat job with the cable management you should fit an acrylic back to show it off

    Also would like one with the screen vertical for old arcade games.

    Bro! That is soooo clean. You are on a whole other level.

    Nice work, I would find a way to make it half as thick when folded. This way it is not protruding much out of the wall. There are low profile arcade buttons that can shave off some thickness on the flipped down controller panel. The monitor can be designed to sit vertically upright, and only tilt when it is opened, this will shaved some thickness of the box as well. Add a strap to the bottom panel so you can use that to pull it out rather than the suction thing.

    0:04 for some reason my brain ignored him saying "this video is sponsored by kiwi co." and it focused on his McCafe. Then I saw the TH-cam "includes paid promotion" and I went straight to "oh, this video is sponsored by McDonalds"
