By the way, the decals were created using various images from the Internet and then arranged in Photoshop and Illustrator.
Special thanks to the fine folks at Office Max Store# 6370 in Crystal Lake, IL.
and the fine folks at the FedEx Store in Algonquin, IL. for assisting with the decal printouts.

An awesome build, I am so glad I already had ordered and received my real chewlix. If I saw this first I may have been tempted to try it and I would have screwed it up. Royally wasted a bunch of my time and money. Your skills are so far beyond mine but you make it look so easy. Thank you for all your videos , pretty much everything you do. Project videos on are stuff that I am dying to do.

[@CGRTist]

You're too kind! Jump in there man. Remember, editing makes the mistakes go away. Lol

[@JoeHusosky]

@@CGRTist I will just continue enjoying your labor. Honestly I closed in my garage except for about 4 ft of it to be able to put in my arcade along with 135 in projection screen. So I have no room for woodworking tools other than the bare necessities. Over the coming years I am thinking of doing some of your door trims and stuff and eventually making it more Star wars corridor-esque.

[@LoST5757]

It came out great! The silver on the edges really made it look like exposed metal.

[@CGRTist]

Thanks! Yeah, that made quite a difference!

[@WhiteysWickedWorkshop]

Your hilarious Ron! That cabinet came out awesome Bro. Those colors were perfect and loved the weathering. Great job on the build and the video!

[@CGRTist]

Thanks W3, I appreciate that!

[@CGRTist]

Thanks, buddy!

[@change1ing]

Wow!

[@JohnWeland]

ooooohhhhh that's nice!

[@CGRTist]

Thank you!

[@pixelmator]

You adding magic sliders on the base or using heavy duty wheels to move it around? Looks amazing, great work on the weathering effect.

[@CGRTist]

I haven't decided yet. I am leaning toward wheels as I can lock them down.

[@FabWorks80]

You my friend are next level, this came out outstanding!!! What was the name of the primer you used ?

[@CGRTist]

Appreciate it my friend. I used BIN Advanced by Zinsser

[@stormk-1130]

Pretty cool man! whats the size of the screen? also that arcade is better to use it in a sitting position or stand up?

[@CGRTist]

The screen is 32". And these types of machines are designed for sitting.

[@stormk-1130]

@@CGRTist oo ok ok. Im going to try 50 Inch arcade, wich me luck xD.

[@CGRTist]

Oh wow!!! That should be awesome!

[@jackipiegg]

3:28 Why would you do this, those buttons and levers are trash tier compared to real sanwa stuff. Since its diy, might as well spend the extra $30 for the real stuff.

[@CGRTist]

Hmm, you're right

[@jackipiegg]

@@CGRTist I mean people take the time to change their arcade1up to real sanwas, here you are DIY and choose to use the arcade1up tier button/levers. Is it opposite day lol.
