DIY Arcade Stick

[@bedge8601]

The fact it isn't hollow makes the buttons and stick so much more quiet. I love this! I wouldn't wake my child by playing fighters anymore. I gotta go get a router now!

[@DIYTyler]

Trim router got the workout of its life!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Tyler G Exactly! :) Thanks for the comment my friend!

[@EvilWaysGaming]

I was thinking the same thing, I only ever use mine for trimming laminate.

[@DrWiley-fm3ik]

I would probably knock the drink over with my elbow lmao

[@DrWiley-fm3ik]

+Eldon's Gaming Channel true

[@L0gan0214]

Id slap the base and knock it over 😂

[@gregghernandez2714]

When I first started to watch this, I thought "why not just build a hollow box with MDF and go from there, but as I started to see the arcade cabinet take shape. Man you really have working with a palm router down to a fine art. I like the way you used a piece of aluminum to make a circular template. Very cool. Nice job, well done sir!

[@mattbrajkovic249]

Every so often I stopped paying attention to the build it self to focus on the awesome music instead

[@Lazarus65]

Song used: Antoine Lavenant - Street Fighter (Dubstep Remix)

[@thearcadeinsane]

Incredible. If the tools are affordable, I would not miss to make myself, that's it.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful piece, awesome work with the router!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thanks man!

[@waldogtv5486]

Great idea with the aluminum circle jig for the router. I need to make one of those myself.

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Wally Phillips Thank you! :)

[@Mikhandmaker]

Spectacular project! Makita work a lot !!

[@prncrx]

I agree with everyone saying it wasn't the most efficient use of wood, but you've gotta admit the seamless look is great

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Love the router shots, thanks for sharing, very cool

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Sterling Davis Thank you very much!

[@sega62s]

a real 100% gamer with attitude and a cold drink! Hello from Montréal :)

[@MakeitExtreme]

+andy T Hello man!! Thank you! :)

[@dollarbill93]

gold leaf Japanese style buttons.. likely sanwa obsf-30 And sanwa joystick.. that's some nice gear... well chosen. nice build

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Dollar Bill Thanks man! :)

[@danthemakerman]

This time I told myself, "I'll just watch it, give it a thumbs up and not leave a comment." I have to leave a comment that was a great video and I loved the end!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Dan The Maker Man Thank you very much my friend! Much appreciate

[@MakerGeek]

Another awesome project, I may have to shamelessly steal the idea of numbering each creation. I think that is a really nice touch.

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Maker | Geek Thank you very much! :)

[@BanditMC]

best custom stick I've ever seen. hands down.

[@DubStepAnonymouse]

Perfect spot for the drinks holder, Awesome old school stuff.

[@robsdeviceunknown]

And here I thought your skill set was in just metal work. Boy was i wrong. Great job.

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Rob Lambert Thank you very much! :)

[@Veske1]

I never post on KZbin videos but this is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I think I watched this video 10x already. Great work

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Veselin Adzic Thanks man! I Appreciate

[@Veske1]

+Make it Extreme you are welcome. I watched all your videos and they are awesome. You should get way more subscribers. Keep up the good work

[@MannuhFestIt]

WHY ARE PEOPLE DISLIKING THIS GUY ADDING A CUPHOLDER TO HIS OWN CUSTOM MADE FIGHTSTICK?!?!

[@DenatBalla]

Great Arcade Stick! So I wasn't the only one who wanted to make their stick out of wood.

[@MaximKozlovBlog]

GREAT!!! Big Like!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Maxim Kozlov Thank you!

[@Malouco]

I want one.

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Some great techniques on this build, saving for future reference. Scott

[@MakeitExtreme]

+The 2 Car Garage Shop Thanks man! :)

[@SuperBADR100]

i saw many tutorials but i ve never seen sth like this.... so surprising and extrelmely amazing please continue

[@RetroTuna]

You done a fantastic job on that i bow down to your skills, i like the cup holder lol.

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Retro Tuna hehe Thanks man! :)

[@reforzar]

That is awesome!!! Loved how it was a router-centric project. Great work!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you very much friend! :)

[@Naregnemyes]

@@MakeitExtreme What do you call that steel router jig for using the edges as rails?

[@MichaelLawing]

That's a thing of beauty!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Michael Lawing Thank you! :)

[@yuzakidoku3014]

5:39 That combo though is sick, good job there Make It Extreme

[@EmeSantosSthewoodworkergirl]

[@MakeitExtreme]

+You Can DIY by EmeSantosS Say hi to Liam from me! :)

[@EmeSantosSthewoodworkergirl]

[@TylerBoespflug]

Great project. I really like your trim router jig. Simple and effective.

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Tyler Boespflug Thank you! :)

[@GregsGarage]

Right on man! Router extravaganza!!!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Greg's Garage haha Thanks! :)

[@RizzyReign]

Dude this is amazing i watches this like 5 times and never got bored. I want one of these for all cansoles if possible

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Mohammed Khan hehe Thank you my friend! :)

[@RizzyReign]

+Make it Extreme np dude stuff like this u dont see especially in louisiana. Bruh how much was all this

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Mohammed Khan Is not for sale man! I make it for me. I'm a street fighter player and i need one Arcade Stick! :) But i take a lot of messages about this stick, maybe sometime i make many sticks!

[@RizzyReign]

+Make it Extreme no worries just wondering how much was the equipment and stuff used in the video

[@chakenbacon]

Make it Extreme - that would be awesome if you did!! I want this arcade stick so bad, the finished product looks amazing. Let us know if you ever decide to make some for sale!

[@bricks3311]

Πολύ καλή κατασκευή! Μπράβο!

[@TheColorfulPube]

I highly recommend building one instead of buying one since you can reuse the parts later if you want, you could also put a raspberry pi inside the box, so you can use it standalone if you wanted to (optional).

[@geobuns8311]

I'm rarely impressed with creations. This is truly impressive my friend, you are an artist, and a creator.

[@0thers1d3]

So, you've convinced me that I need a router... lol. Dope work man!

[@memecity6722]

What a router does?

[@PhilepZ]

By far the project i love the most until now! AWESOME!!!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Philep Kalopetris Thank you! :)

[@NikofMaker]

good idea ! Woodworking is great! + A thumbs up ;)

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you very much! :)

[@MrElixer26]

Imagine being the coolest guy in the world with access to lots of tools.

[@TheBurleybrawler]

Love how you didn't hold back on size. Makes play comfortable IMO.

[@swarnimsubba5653]

before I watch ur video I thought Jimmy diresta was the only genius but u made me wrong coz u existing in this word love ur video ..

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you very much! :)

[@ESquared42]

Absolutely applaud this! What a fantastic way to "run what ya brung"

[@jpwoodwork]

AWESOME MATE

[@MakeitExtreme]

+jp woodwork Thanks dude! :)

[@TheMarcball]

"FIGHT !" fantastic job indeed. Keep on trucking (from France) !

[@MakeitExtreme]

+MakeFix Thank you very much! :)

[@Darwinion]

Brilliant! I've built a few projects myself but it got to the stage where the building is more fun than the playing :p

[@jbellamy83]

If I attempted to do this myself I wouldn't have enough fingers left to enjoy it lol. Excellent work btw! You would have destroyed my old wood shop teacher. Yes, I'm talking about you, Mr. Horan.

[@HABU]

Great idea!! Thumb up!👍🏽

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you! :)

[@Retroweld]

Coolest game controller/stick ever. :) Thumbs up!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+RetroWeld hehe thank you Douglas! :)

[@golga14]

EXTREMELY impressive man!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+golga14 Thanks dude! :)

[@golga14]

Make it Extreme Np sir! :)

[@b0rd3n]

+golga14 well deserved would have been my answer!

[@MrHeRbMaN007]

Craftsmanship!! U got some handy tools too.

[@steveysee]

Amazing..what was the depth you left on the routed section of wood please? (where you installed stick and buttons)

[@NeilsClemenson]

Thanks for sharing this. I had a hard time finding wood that thick...fortunately someone gave me a sawed cherry tree.

[@wahaj4905]

the final look is awesome

[@Fajah69]

They should make snap on buttons for thicker material. I had to get those screw on buttons because mine is 3/4 inch thick all around. Good job sir.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

This made me smile. Great project!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Robin Lewis Thank you! :)

[@FunkJews]

That's so sick. Imagine bringing that thing to tourneys

[@bobSnee1984]

Such a beautiful thick piece of wood and you just routed the entire thing away.. cripes.

[@MaghoxFr]

+Robert D'Arcy yeah

[@mexicansuperman123]

I think i fell in love with the main tool you were using lol

[@terry1427]

this is so satisfying to watch

[@Getbent97]

FRAPPE!!! Oh yeah and thats a really nice controller you made there mate!

[@artlessdiamondmedia]

That drill solo is godlike, yo!

[@lordioris]

Looks simple enough.... I'll give it a try later

[@GianniPirolaFaidate]

wow bellissimo !!!!!

[@MrGameHeure]

What is the thickness of the bloc you use, to make sure i have enough space to put my component. Thanks.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I recommend a Korean lever and some sanwa buttons.

[@Nejdat]

It was a very nice job thanks to easy subscribers I will follow your channel

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you very much!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Awesome! Now give the poor router a break... It earned its keep for the day...lol

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Moy perez woodshop haha right! Thanks for the comment! :)

[@kidbuu6796]

+Moy perez woodshop Makita don't need break. Black and Decker maybe

[@Larry]

Have you thought of sticking a Raspberry Pi or gut an Ouya and stick that inside it? have an all in one MAME unit!

[@joeygreathouse3029]

+Larry Bundy Jr It's 360 compatible so also PC compatible/Pi/Ouya

[@imwatchingyou994]

I see your comments everywhere!

[@CrazyRiverOtter]

STOP BEING EVERYWHERE LARRY.

[@PixelOutlaw]

Unfortunately the Pi can't play the more modern arcade games well. Even midrange PCs will play quite a few of the modern ROMs like garbage.

[@enrico759]

I’ve liked Larry’s comments on gaming historians videos

[@vrey3429]

Magnifique! vous êtes un artiste!

[@anthonymaher3395]

That's a work of art... Thank you for sharing

[@giorgos424]

Special like for the frappe holder! Great videos! And thanks for sharing!!

[@mikex2805]

I was holding my breath as I watched him drill the holes for the buttons and the deck flexed under the pressure (0o0;)

[@stelioskoutsantonakis540]

Εξαιρετικο . Φουσκαλες στα δαχτυλα βγαζαμε εκεινες τις εποχες με αυτους τους μοχλους που αργοτερα εγιναν joystick (φραπε δεν ειχαμε ακομη)

[@MakeitExtreme]

Χαχα σε νοιώθω φίλε! Ευχαριστώ! :)

[@lawrenceb4954]

First time I saw this video it looked like black magic. About 2 years later and I've made 2 arcades and have a pretty well stocked shop. =D

[@PeterHope2]

Holy crap! Well done. Excellent work.

[@MakeitExtreme]

+peter hope Thanks man! :)

[@ericsaldana6994]

Watching this makes me really want to pick up some wood and create my own. Too bad I'm bad with wood and don't have my own workplace

[@drumavenger83]

holy router work batman!!! definitely got your money out of your router! great looking project!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+drumavenger83 haha Thank you! :)

[@joeparker2970]

Thank you fir sharing ... Only thing is tho... I'd prefer a deeper cupholder and suited to my favorite beer bottle... And I'm pretty sure you can route out straight lines where the steel plate sits underneath... I'll make mine 90% this way

[@ArcadeObsessed]

Wow man you are the human CNC machine this is fantastic plus I subbed love the stick man

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Arcade Obsessed haha cool!!!! :) Thank you so much dude!!

[@serkisdav]

This is AMAZING.... Guys a big Bravo!!! Like all your projects because you make them really EXTREME!!!!!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Serkis Alaverd Thank you very much brother!! :)

[@espinozajuan8591]

Hi, beautiful stick, 2 questions what pcb did you use? Why are the small holes for???

[@cg219]

What is the PCB used for the Start/Back/Home/Turbo buttons ??

[@MakeitExtreme]

+@KreativeMente Exatcly!!! Is from cheap arcade stick! Search on google Arcadepro and will see it! Thanks for the comment..:)

[@IadiiI]

dude your tools are awesome

[@riemi2009]

THE BEST - CONGRATULATIONS !

[@bgroenert]

badass build job, Noob here... Looking at the smaller buttons you used on the top row, but can't seem to find anything like them. What are they and where can I grab them thx.

[@deejones8552]

I'm really Impressed, this is great!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Dejaun Jones Thanks man! :)

[@MFIBCN]

With that size, you could add keyboard directionals just above the circle. And would be all in 1. Arcade stick/hitbox/keyboard xD

[@graphicgrinder568]

This is so sweet man it must have took forever to make it

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Awesome project!

[@MakeitExtreme]

+The Russian Woodworker Thank you! :)

[@darrenmartin2195]

Excellent job, your standard of finish is swell. Keep en coming! Thanks.

[@TabLe_]

wow, are there any issues with the wood eroding away or scratching as the joystick moves across it over time? just curious because i am doing this for myself

[@gabrielcuevas3095]

I just want to ask what kind of buttons are those for home, start and select? I haven’t seen those little ones before this stick is great btw

[@josuefec]

Their work is very good and I like them very much when they work making machines and tools, but this time they did a job that should be simple, they did it in a complicated way as well as more expensive.

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

May I feature a clip of this on a future Woodworking Top Videos show? Again... it's very good! Thanks for considering this. Either way, please keep being awesome.

[@MakeitExtreme]

Of course you can use any video! Also i will make a playlist from your show if it's ok! :)

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

Great. Thanks... and yes, please do. :-)

[@MakeitExtreme]

+Awesome Wood Things Done! :) I hope to help your awesome WTV

Sweet as mom's apple pie, I wish I had the skill to make something like that, nice job.

[@MakeitExtreme]

+O.G. Bobby Johnson Thank you! :)

[@jean-marcrdt1392]

At that point... I call it art 😮😍

[@Randios187]

Nicely done! What kind of finish is that at 4:10? Is it just a stain or a varnish maybe?

[@igorstjepanovic8556]

That is very cool bro. Keep up the awesome extreme work

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thanks man! :)

[@TriforceBeyblade]

After you built it, did you just plug and play? Or is there some type of firm ware thing?
