Not everyone does but many weekend warriors do. Check out my latest arcade series which shows how to do it with "simpler" tools. That being said... I have been collecting tools since I was 5 years old. This video shows the classrooms where I teach. This project can be done entirely with a jigsaw/circular saw, a drill, and some patience.

Hi We Build Stuff, Your video was absolutely inspiring for me and gave me the final motivation I needed to build my own arcade cabinet. I must say that this is my first big "professional" wood work and it took me some days, because I wanted to make things right, but at the end I'm very proud with the result. All of my friends and family are very impressed as well, because although I don't have many of the tools you use on the video I managed to cut, drill and mill the borders of wood to produce a nice arcade. Didn't painted it yet and the marquee is missing as well, but I feel very happy each time I use it, and that's thanks to you. Btw, I used your measures and they worked quite perfect, but the side panel layout didn't worked for me, not sure if it was the way I printed it so at the end I made all the measures by hand ;)

I'm using your directions to make my own bartop arcade(btw thanks), the only thing i would change is putting the (#10 NC T-nuts) on the opposite side of the support. I was having the problem where the T-nuts was pulling off. Putting them on the opposite side it pulls the t-nut into the support piece holding it even stronger. Also getting a more plush fit.
@WeBuildStuff
@WeBuildStuff 7 жыл бұрын
I'm doing that for my latest build. The issue I'm having is when I unscrew the #10 bolts the t-nuts fall out the back due to gravity and the teeth aren't gripping the wood the way I want. I might try some adhesive to hold them in better.

Looks like you blew the back out of the MDF on some of those button holes that you showed towards the end. Flip the MDF over and do a quick hit with the drill bit before drilling all the way through on the other side and that will prevent that stuff. It will help in the future when the buttons want to start coming loose.

They make the job easier but everything can be done with hand power tools as well. Built my latest fullsize cabinet without using a tablesaw, bandsaw, etc. I teach high school shop so very fortunate to have decent tools available to teach young people about tools, safety, and trades careers

I'm very fortunate to teach in such a great area. This project can be done with simple tools, just takes a little longer. You could do almost this whole project with tools costing under $200 (for the tools, not the project). Drill, jigsaw, soldering iron, screwdriver, and sandpaper!

I don't have a ton of videos to respond too yet but I originally made this video to share plans with my students and other teachers in my province. I'm very happy about the way this video has worked out and I have taken the advice of many people commenting for my latest builds!

Nice work, I am attempting to do one myself except using a PC instead of a pi. I want something with a bit more kick to play games like Mortal Kombat X & 11 and Killer Instinct for example. Debating whether to use Hyperspin or Big Box . I learned some cool tricks from your video though that have been very helpful so thanks.

Hey I am just finishing up my own build. Just wanted to know how you wired the reset switch. I know the part on the board. But I have 4 connectors on my arcade button and not sure which ones to attach it to. Also I would like that button to light up if possible.Thanks for the video! Turned out to be a really fun project!
@WeBuildStuff
@WeBuildStuff 7 жыл бұрын
jconti8190 if you have 4 connectors one will be for your microswitch positive, microswitch negative, led positive and led negative. just find a wiring diagram of your button forbwhat each thing does. led power most likely from however you are lighting your other ones or a 5v+ gpio header right from your pi

I don't have plans for that. Sorry. You are welcome to modify plans to work for you though! Check instructables for a sitdown cabinet 😁

Great video, but I would recommend using zero delay usb boards instead of the GPIO as it makes everything a lot easier to wire/manage. You can pretty much plug any button in wherever you like on the board along with the stick and retropie/recal box will simply detect everything as a USB controller.
