Making a NINTENDO ARCADE Control Panel From Scratch!

[@BigFamilyGaming]

Amazing work! 👏 💪 Really makes you appreciate the work Mike put in assembling these for sale

[@therexershow]

It really does. I was only able to do it because of Mike . He’s always a big help.

[@paulberres9878]

I love this project. You make it look so easy... and it's DK jr my favorite. Great video Rex!

[@therexershow]

I’ll do a quick video on the DK jr when it’s all done !! Let’s see how it comes out !

[@khamla616]

Piece of art, question when I googled “Insert Nuts” I came across some bad stuff, did I accidentally go into the wrong website?

[@therexershow]

LMAO. I didn’t think of that. Haha. Don’t Google that.

[@nickmadsen2572]

Nice work, man! It turned out great.

[@therexershow]

Rexer your awesome skills are well displayed and the proof is in the finished product. Well done my friend!

[@DreamcastKyle]

Looks great!

[@RETROOBLIVION]

Awesome Work! You made that look like a walk in the park.🌴👍

[@therexershow]

Took way to long to do , editing can make anything look easy.

If someone has problems to keep there drill stable with the button and joystick holes. Lookup forstner bit, they have them in all sizes. So I have 24, 28 and 30mm for the buttons and the joystick holes. Maybe they help you as well.

[@therexershow]

Thanks. I’ll definitely check it out. I also have a hole saw bit that has the drill bit in the middle. Usually works well. I’ll pretap a nail hole to start the drill bill with the hole saw . Thanks for watching.

[@djcasl]

@@therexershow Those should work as well, the problem I have with the Speedbits, is because they are flat, I tend to wobble. So my 24mm becomes 25. This is mainly a problem if you want your joystick buttons close together. Forstner are easier too handle for me. And since they sell them in exact sizes, you only need 2 or 3.

Sweet 1up. Best 1up YBer in the game

[@stepsgaming]

This is really cool. Wish I had money for all dem tools

[@therexershow]

When you’re as old as me you start to accumulate them.

[@Selevur175]

What did you use for drilling out the button holes?

[@therexershow]

Sometimes I use a spade bit or a hole saw. I do NOT use a step bit as it doesn’t work right on thicker control panels . I believe it was a 1-1/8 bit. But I can’t remember. Always use a test piece of wood and drill test holes first.

[@Selevur175]

Alright thank you

[@MichaelSmith-fd9ec]

I’m not able to get a paper airplane to fly, so I think this is beyond my ability?

When are we doing the show? Send me an email.

[@koolex69]

excellent job. great router skills man.. if you lived in my town I would have built that for you in 5 minutes for free.. 😎😎

[@therexershow]

You would have saved me a headache.

[@koolex69]

@@therexershow I restored many CPO panels and water damaged cabinets for someone here in hot 🔥 phoenix az. I am blessed to lived that 90's era.

[@therexershow]

@@koolex69 that’s awesome. I have made simple control panels , even did a Robocop CP from scratch but this one I had to just assume how it was done. And I don’t have the best tools to get everything done right.

[@erbwars]

Rexer you should commission these. I’d buy one for my dk

[@therexershow]

I wish Mikes Arcade did these still. His are better than mine. And I think it was $150 but no joystick. Still worth it.

[@JoeCnNd]

@@therexershow I think Mikes arcade is selling them again.
