Arcade building series - PART 1: Cabinet and Pedestal control panels
In this video we will start two exciting new projects!
A monster 4 player Arcade pedestal with more RGB buttons than I have ever used, and a deluxe 2 player Arcade cabinet with a brand new black carbon theme.
I have shown these designs in this 'upcoming builds' video:
• Upcoming builds in 202...
In this multi-part video series, I will show you how these projects come to life. Step by step.
In part one, we are building the controlpanel boxes, miter cuts, pocket hole connections, joystick preparations with threaded inserts and routing the T-Molding slots.
The material we are using is ultra high-quality black painted MDF
difficult to find but extremely nice to work with.
This is the material:

Great video build! Your skill in building is absolutely immense and having a workshop makes it so much easier. My custom build is also black MDF with lime green trim but not a patch on yours! It’s also fixed with pocket screws as well as biscuit joints to hold it together. I’ve always wanted to make another to refine the design of my control panel.

He is back!!!!! I enjoyed the woodworking as always, cant wait for the next part and see it all come together! Those new benches and tools sure made it even more professional looking, not to forget the brown work apron :D. there is nothing more annoying while your in the middle of work and you cant find the marker for example. Anyways great part 1! Groetjes!

I see that all players are getting 8 buttons. I believe that the success of Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge will help developers realize we need more games of this type. I believe the new TMNT uses 6 buttons, and the Start button, so 7 total. Good call in my opinion on giving more buttons than the 'standard' build.

The quality of your MDF is the same but this material is black and pre-painted. Unfortunately I can’t order more of this material as it is no longer available here. It looks cool doesn’t it?

@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Yes it sure does. Hey it’s ok. You did amazing work on my build. None of us can think of everything. You did a lot of details on our system. It’s amazing what all you did for each detail. It’s was the first of that style for you. Cannot wait to see the features on the next pedestal. As well as all the amazing things you create.

Awesome work, love your video's Daniel. The craftsmanship (and your new Festool tool's) are great. I'm in the midst of a new build myself and you are providing a lot of great guidance to me. If I may ask, have you always used a CNC provider for your control panel routing or did you first try it yourself and decided to outsource? I was planning to do the routing of the top panel myself with pattern bits but I may look to a CNC shop for preciseness, thank you!

Daniel, why did you hammer in the brass inserts for the trackball pocket but then drilled them in for the Servoistik pockets? Were the inserts different for the Trackball vs the Servostillks? And are all the holes you drilled for the inserts the same for all accessories 6mm?

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Жыл бұрын

The trackball comes with inserts that you hammer in. For the joysticks I prefer screw in inserts. M6 is generally okay indeed 👍🏼

Great video coverage of the build... quick question for @TheDanielSpies - did you ask for the person to precut those panels for you already - how was the pricing?

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Жыл бұрын

I create the designs in Autodesk Fusion and send them to a CNC company. The wood itself is of course the most expensive, CNC is around 700 euro for a full size cab I believe.

@WimbledonWoodwork Жыл бұрын

Time to get a yeti smart bench CNC! At around 7000 Eur it handles a full sheet of MDF. 10 builds and you have it paid for. Best of all it folds away when you don’t need it meaning your workshop stays clear!

@@ipercade8495 trend yeti smartbench cnc - I have no affiliation just a happy customer. The killer for me was the fact it all collapses / folds up and so I can store it out the way in my workshop when not in use. Lots of people who have them make the comment that they pay for themselves in weeks. Yes there are better CNCs out there but not at that price point and certainly not ones that fold away (that I am aware of)
