that's some crazy painting. i usually go in short bursts. in general the colder it is, the longer it takes to cure. you actually want to stop your stroke once you go off the side of the object and then go back over it, because if you were on top of a piece when you stopped and went back it would create an area with extra paint. going all the way off to the "air" on the side of the object will leave an even amount of paint. also keep the distance even with the flat surface you are painting. i've been painting for too many years, obviously.

[@Johnsarcade]

Oh, I def' go way past the piece before turning back. I brought the parts inside the house to dry. They turned out great!

Great video nice corner fix keep up the great work

[@jamesrbrindle]

John & Adam's yankee workshop :) couple of tips you might know - 1) get some disposable gloves from the pharmacy for when using chemicals and paints, i've a skin alergy i only discovered after years of wiping wood glue with my fingers, 2) you prob do this but replace the leg levvelers and set them a little high to protect the sides when moving as i've found all my cabs with no levellers on had damaged bases.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, James! I should use those gloves, my hands are usually a mess when I'm done. I'll replacing the levellers soon. I always do. :)

[@arcadeimpossible]

Nice bondo work bro. I love working with that stuff. Throw on heaps, sand away.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks! That's my approach. Too much, sloppy, and lots of sanding. :D

[@defector29]

I'm going to be doing something similarto this soon, but on a larger scale. This helped me a lot. Thank You.

[@WilliamPorygon]

1:12:35 - nah, it doesn't look good, it looks AWESOME! Nice job John and Adam! Looking forward to seeing that cabinet in your basement :)

[@michaeldauria]

This is pretty intense, thanks for sharing a worst case scenario

[@deanfroley3008]

nice one.

[@Beaps73]

Speechless, fantastic work. I am chomping at the bit waiting for the next episode, hurry up lol Nice of your mate to help you out, I cant wait to see that vinyl mask removed!

[@Johnsarcade]

New video will be out this Saturday!

[@Alex_Off-Beat]

The tool Adam used to measure the groove depth is called a combination square,

[@damiancordero3193]

Wow, John. It's coming out better than it looks. Kudos to you, Bro.

[@Johnsarcade]

Is this is a compliment!??! :D Thanks!

[@damiancordero3193]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Hell yeah. You're welcome

[@claudiafranco5640]

Haha

[@Shundi12]

Great vid as always John. Can't wait to see this cab finished!

[@Johnsarcade]

Me too!! We are getting VERY close! :)

[@DJBIGSEXYBERLIN]

Wow John this thing is really coming along. Thanks for all of your time and knowledge, I have learned many things watching your videos.

[@JanetDiaz6152]

Hey Guys , Great Job, and again as always Thank you... For you Video;s.. Now i know what to do on my next project.

[@yorgle]

I love the fast-motion sounds. Cracks me up!

[@RobWalsh]

That's a serious hobbyist, and an amazing basement.

[@jamesgrimwood1285]

My cellar is just full of rats, some servers and the resident dampness.

[@siimsimsiim]

Nice!

[@dualsticks6502]

I literally have the best way to harden corners

[@hannonm]

god love adam!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Amy Marie me too

[@hannonm]

us geeks can do anything. electronics to minor wood working. its like arts and crafts for geeks.

[@lesbenito]

In the future you might try a biscuit joiner to join the old cab side to the newly cut piece. Since is has a flat bottom you don't have to worry about the problem you were having with the drill bit and they also have play by design so it's easier to slide in over the dados. Also, since it always cuts the exact distance from the top you can ensure that they line up nicely. Great job overcoming the challenges.

[@DTRBrewery]

He said nice even stokes

[@DanteFeraco81]

Awesome video I'm doing my own rebuild of pow I got the cabinet for free I bought the pcb board and marquee together less then 40 bucks, never own an arcade and now I will if you like photos I'll be glad to send you them, I'm learning a lot from your videos keep making them they are freakin awesome. Dante'

[@orangewhipster]

Woot! 2 shows in just a few days! Can't wait to get home from work and watch this! Thanks John!

[@rlenk702]

Good job John with the restoration. Keep up the great work with these videos. It's going to be a tight fit down the the basement.

[@HelloComics]

The cab is looking great. Can't wait for the next part!

[@james42519]

can't believe you painted the speaker cover since it was power coated. covered something good with something bad that will flake

[@Johnsarcade]

I wanted all the finishes to match. I don't think it's gonna flake! Never had that happen with spray paint before. Not in my lifetime at least. And, well, it looks good!

[@jamesmoates932]

Hi I am a newcomer to your wonderful and informative site. I have watched all the videos you have posted ( I am disabled so I have time on my hands) and was wondering if you could recommend other sites like yours that have full Restoration videos. Keep up the good work and Thanks, James

[@siimsimsiim]

I have that corner problem too but not at the corner, it's near the control panel..

[@Johnsarcade]

I have no idea what your corner looks like. I'm guessing you can apply the same methods we used in this video.

[@etienneodk]

Youre on a roll John !, two long video's in one week ! Awesome ;-)

[@nobody.watchin]

Holy you guys used way too much glue! But I really enjoyed the video it shows methods on broken stuff like this people who build/repair furniture should watch this

[@Johnsarcade]

You think so?? The glue is mostly hidden and the glue that wasn't was sanded smooth. No harm. :)

[@TigerClaw305]

Good video John, There was a whole lot of bonding on this episode.

[@KBrownson]

You should tell the yellow bird in your intro to lay off the pixie sticks. I'm concerned for his health.

[@josephatnip2398]

fyi you don't need primer for metal that's not bear it already has a coat of paint so just a light sanding and you should be good it's not like it's ever going to get wet or be outside if you use a enamel paint and bake the parts in the oven after they dry at 300 for an hour it will never come off that's how i paint my ak builds

[@lilretrobrothers]

Two in one week? is it Christmas already?

[@theorgandude]

in the uk we have a word for this "bodging", and this was a bodge of epic proportions. but you got the job done and it turned out good. nice to watch someone with similar level of workmanship to myself. i'm patched up my own arcade cab and can testify to how time consuming and tedious a job it is. thanks for taking the trouble to document the process, keep up the good work friend!

[@Johnsarcade]

I tend to "bodge" and recover and often. It's like falling down a flight of stairs and landing on your feet. :)

[@NaturalProgressGames]

At least wipe the dangling bondo onto the bowl before you start dripping it all over the parts of the cabinet that you're not going to bondo. :x You were dripping that stuff all over that cab. Other than that, it looks good!

[@Johnsarcade]

I said before I even started that I have a bad habit of using too much and that I am sloppy. This trivial fact will have no bearing on the end result. Trust me. It's gonna look bad ass. :)

[@GadgetUK164]

Fantastic, love it! A LOT of hard work has gone into that. Can't wait for the next video =)

[@TheCrulZ2348]

have you decided where it will go in the basement when done?

[@Johnsarcade]

Not yet! I'm determined to squeeze it in the basement and SOON.

[@onecircuit]

Oh yeah. We showed that corner who's boss. ;) -Adam

[@tompurdum8333]

What brand of cigars do you smoke?

[@hueyfann1]

I want to use a wood bondo on my ms pacman, to fix a few chips and dings, i see that you use Car bondo, is it the same as wood bondo, wood filler, what do you think i should use?

[@siimsimsiim]

I have some questions, wich pin it is what action on a cheap ipac? I want to know wich pin is what action, like pin 1 is the Esc button, pin 2 is the ctrl and so on, And is there a pin for the coin a mechanism? I have a coin mech that I want to connect, is that possible? (Ebay > arcade encoder china > a gray yellowish collor of circuit board)

[@Moondream417]

The name of the game here is pacman 1:09:32

[@siimsimsiim]

No idea how to fix it.

[@josephatnip2398]

next time use wood filler

[@Johnsarcade]

+Joseph Atnip Nah, I love Bondo. Stuff rules.

[@josephatnip2398]

well i love your basement (good job) but space is a issue of me so i'm going mame i only have room for one

[@meemajudy1512]

He can cuss?!

[@DJBIGSEXYBERLIN]

Its a bit intimidating either you know how to fix everything for yourself, or you spend loads of cash for repairs with this hobby.

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

Great video nice corner fix keep up the great work
