This is without a doubt one of the cleanest cabinet builds I have ever seen. Occasionally you will hear someone say "don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect as no one will see that part of the build." Well apparently you are a perfectionist, because I see no flaws in the design at all. Great job!
Can't ask for a better review than that... Thank you!!
@@cornerwoodshop very welcome, and keep up those inspirational videos!
Such a good video! Easy to follow along as well, can't wait for the next one!
Subscribed! Excellent video. Your explanations are very good, thank you!
Great build!
This popped up on me "Recommended" list. Very well put-together set of videos. I hope you haven't given up. I liked and subbed and am definitely looking forward to whatever else you decide to create.
I appreciate that... Thank you! I do have more projects in the works and hope to have them uploaded after the busy holiday.
High quality video and narration, good work!
I appreciate that, thank you!
that was cool to watch, thanks for sharing.
A mad genius, I was lost for most of that video, I was crap at woodwork. However I would stress that a straight back is always better than a curve, because of the graphics. You will have fun and games trying to get a tight fit on a curved back.
Great video, thank you for this great stuff!! :)
I am really impressed how straight can you cut with your hand router.
Excellent work and indeed very practical and pragmatic as I am beginning myself the building of a bartop. I stumbled on many things, especially the control panel and the idea of wood inserts is really great. Do you have tips for using a router without a table ? Thanks :)
"WHEN WILL I EVER NEED MATH?!?" everyone complaining about math when they were younger in school haha (the monitor mounting portion)
Thanks For Sharing :)
6:50 for anybody who might searching, those are often called a "piano hinge"
I like you're complicated math for where to drill on that monitor holder. I would have had a much simpler solution. namely I start with something thin like a piece of paper so I can piece it with a pencil real easy. Then I put the paper on something thicker, like a nearly-thin-as-paper piece of plastic. then go a little thicker like 1/8" inch particle board or whatever...and test the holes with that to make sure it will screw in to the monitor. Then screw through that material into the MDF, creating perfectly lined up holes. That process would like maybe 3 minutes.
Not criticizing. geometry works too ...
I guess it's just stand vesa mounting holes. could probably just print those out or use a left over vesa mount or something. I'm probably overthinking this.
Nice vid
Thank you for the awesome video, curious where you found the the bolt and inserts for the 1/2 mdf
Thanks! I'm actually using 3/4 inch mdf, and I got the bolts and inserts on amazon here amzn.to/3clgM6t and here amzn.to/2Rud3LN . They were hard to find in bulk at my local hardware stores.
An outstanding and easy to follow video. Can you also stress safety when working with power tools? I saw you use push sticks with the saws. Can you stress the use of safety glasses also? Again great video :)
Absolutely... great comment! I noticed in trying to set up the best shot with the camera, I would sometimes forget the glasses and earplugs. It's an easy thing to be lazy about, but something that is extremely important! Thanks!
Great video. I’m planning to build this. But I will be using a 24inch monitor. Other than increasing width of the control panel and top / back / marquee, would that affect any other measurements?
My biggest pain is printing the vinyl graphics, cause if I change the side panels size, I don’t know how to properly edit the graphics so they will still line up properly.
I think you should be ok lengthening the width of the cabinet and keeping the side panels as is. A 24" monitor will be taller, but since it fits in at an angle, you will have some room to play. Worse case, you can adjust the marquee a little higher to make room.
Nice video, could you add coin acceptor to it? Maybe next video idea?!?
Thanks! I've seen that done in other builds. Will definitely want to add if I build a full size cabinet.
I got a Jamma 60 and one thats vertical
Great work brother 👏 I really appreciate 👍 love from Bangladesh.
I need that plan but i dont have money to pay.
If you don't mind can you give me those plans file for free ?
Hey great build. I have a question about the drill bit that you use make the hole for the joystick.
I used a 1/2" bit. I can't confirm whether that works for all joysticks, but as long as it's a large enough hole that the joystick doesn't touch the sides when in use, you'll be good!
@@cornerwoodshop thanks I was using a 1 1/8 forsner bit with all holes even the joystick.
Nice job, thank you.
Question: What screen size?
Thanks! The cabinet will fit up to a 22 inch monitor.
Awesome video!!! How long did it take to complete from start to finish?
@@pmtampabay If you have all the parts handy, it can easily be done in a weekend.
Can you do a video slower of you just designing the side panel in photoshop? I want to make my own bartop and need to make a template. Also can photoshop do 28mm circles for control panel?
Sorry, I don't have plans to do photoshop tutorials on this channel, but there are plenty on youtube that should get you started. You can also purchase the plans including the photoshop files from my website, link is in the description. Good luck with the build!
Great video. My question how to get the games. What website
Thanks! You will have to google "Retropie Roms" for help finding games. There are copyright laws against download games you do not already own, so unfortunately I can't list that info here.
What about a vertical monitor
This cabinet wouldn't fit a vertical screen as is, but I believe the Retropie software will display vertically with some changes to the configuration file.
What about a
