Love the track saw!!!! That's great that your little helper pops in and out and you let him get involved with you. Nice work!!! can't wait to see the chairs. Flipping from the traditional stand up barrel arcade on its side was a unique touch. I like it👍👍

[@megatrontalking]

Like that you did it all by hand instead of CNC. HAND MADE ALL THE WAY!

[@BadrunSalim-hn7de]

Nice twist on the ordinary barrel arcade, like that you made it your own.

I would love to have one like this, they kid s (and adults) wouldn t leave it alone. Nice

[@simonr6793]

Nice👍, that's a great way to play the electronic games from our childhood year's. Just a thought regarding the two chair's that you're going to be building to match the gaming table. How about trying to wire the chair's upto a vibration device? That way, when the game vibrates as they do in some of the old games then the players will feel it in their bodies as well as their hands etc 🤔🤪. That'll surely surprise the children. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

Fire!!! Thats sweet! Why only 60 in 1? could have gone hardcore with a retro pi or something. unless you are really going for that retro vibe. In any case love it.

Where are the pocket holes?😂 Good job.

Would be cool to make the barrel like a Donkey Kong barrel to go with the theme.

Currently building an arcade myself, not wine barrel just table top. Question does the screen automatically flip side to side for 2P games? Would love a tech side video of the electronic hookup if your going to make one.

How as the wiring, heard its brutal in these things.

[@deivisurbina3739]

Ever thought a wall mount or table top one?

[@swissman7268]

you mentioned you bought a lot of buttons, any prefrence or recommendation on a brand

[@AtilioLopes-jc]

How did the wireless charges work? tried similar set on a regular board game table and didn't have much luck, ended up cutting holes and putting table top ones in.

[@CHANNELTVMaconWilson]

What did you do to hold the screen in, just a wood bar or did you frame it?

[@mancld]

Iron Acetate solution will last a few months before it starts losing strength. In my experience tea mixture will mold after a few days. I do my tea wash separate for that reason.

[@AodhaganJon]

i've heard that before but i do mine similar to his here just mixing them all together. so do you do tea first them come back with steel wool and vinegar

[@mancld]

​yes tea wash first - sometimes two coats - then iron solution. This also raises the grain so a light sand after the tea.

[@AodhaganJon]

what did you final height come out to, looking to do a vertical one but seems very high when sitting next to the barrel standing up.

[@DesignsbyREX]

Final height was 30” standard table top height, initially had it about 36” when i was thinking i was going to do higher bar stools but then decided to go standard chair height so cut it down. 30 is a good height for the standard chair height or in my case for kids who like to stand around it and play.

Where are the stools :)
