Updated build video and new plans!! Check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9mZf7Wlr9K5o6M.html

wow! very impressive. This project is obviously way above my skill level but I appreciate the detail and time you put into making it. :)

Thank you for making this video! Editing video is not a quick task and you had a lot of content. It's people like you that make all the difference!

Nice build. The "T" nuts should be installed from the underside of those glue blocks. The will pull out installed the way you have them.

I Don't usually log in and comment ever, BUT..... Your video was put together amazingly well! Everything was thorough, clear, and detailed. I hope one day you have enough subscribers to make a good chunk of spending money from your videos! Thank you !

I like how these Diy videos includes an entire work station as if its a normal thing to have at home

This seems like a lucrative highschool job that I can pick up if I can improve my woodworking. Much appreciated, thanks for the informative video!

Great thanks this video encourage me to build my own

One of the cleanest and well done arcade cabinets on youtube. You even had a merciless quality testing crew :) thanks for the video!

How can someone dislike something genius like this? Great work! ❤❤❤👍👍👍

What a joy to watch. Thank you. Great video. This is exactly how I would do my cabinet if I had a fully equipped carpenters workshop. Sigh.

Nice video man! I saw this video as a recommended vid on the side of my bar top cabinet video. Check it out, if you're interested. I've also got a 3 part series for a full sized cabinet. Anyway, looking forward to checking out more of your stuff!

One of the reasons why i love youtube, fantastic! I own a Sega Blast City cab but am very stoked about making my own retropie arcade!

neat and tidy. Really nice job, man! (thumbs up)

If I had a wood shop class that did this project!! I would have gotten into making things so much earlier.

amazing video and that beard looks fantastic!

I love this project and I actually decided to make a fully 3D Printed version of this! I took your plans and modeled them myself and I'm in the process of printing everything!

Weekly updates on the project's I am working on with students and my own at the link below. Check out some sneak previews of an upcoming build video: instagram.com/p/BqkxPG-B8tr/

So impressive, great job...love both the black and yellow ones. Really inspires me to give it a go myself

You put the t nuts on the wrong side

This video is half a year old and you're still responding to comments. Nothing makes me happier than a youtuber being active with his community.

Cool, i am also make arcade bartop !

start using tools at a young age to learn responsibility and skills to last forever... Love that phrase!! haha people usually think the opposite! Great job!

take my money! You should sell these! Great video!

Great job. Very detailed and informative.

The tee nuts are installed on the wrong side of the cleat.

Awesome use of cheap resources. Can't wait to build one myself. Awesome job.

club penguin no scope montage pls

Damn, i wish i have the garage space for a table saw like yours. Even with the dust port vacuum, i bet cleaning up the rest of the sawdust is a pain. Good job on the video.......very inspiring.

Who's here from Aldo Jones?

Cool project, you are correct much of the cutting and drilling can be done with home hand helds

The CNC art is friggin' off the chain...it will last forever. Very nice build! I'd love to see what you do with a full size cabinet build. Cheers!

fuck! nobody is going to have all these fancy high tech tools, gatchets, machines, money, time, or work shop. I'm so sick of these misleading videos. Might as well say you got your own autobody shop and how easy it is to fix up an old car......

Thats so cool. Pure 80s nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice. You've made that look really easy and straightforward but that's some real talent there and I'd probably give up on this project a third of the way through. Still I'm very tempted.

Thanks for posting such a comprehensive video. I'm part-way through my own build and I learned a lot from your design and build - I wish I had seen this first! Cheers

Awesome build. A tip on cutting acrylic sheets, you can score and snap sheets to size pretty easily.

Hands down the best tutorial! Thanks buddy. My son and I are starting ours now.

Wao. I am totally speechless. This is freaking awesome. I want to build one, I will try my best to come as close to yours as possible. Really nice. Thanks for sharing.

I will make one of these hopefully this summer.

This is the exact video I was looking for. I laughed when I saw the "head to head" machines at Sam's Club with 5 games, and it was $400. I have a couple Pi's lying about, and now it's time to make one. Not sure if I want to do a tabletop or a full-size standup 🤔 🤔

Brilliant stuff! Been thinking of building an arcade machine for years, might give this build a go. Thanks for sharing!

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 ;)

Oh boy, I have this build on my wish list. Great video and you have good tools, I will saventhis video to help me build this in the near future. Thansk and greetings from Holland

just bought a raspberry pi 3, so excited to build it. I'm waiting on an SD card reader though.

You can also get Arcadestick packs with stick and buttons that come premade with a little controlerboard for usb use. So you just plug the cables on the controlerboard and plug the controler in the usb port of the pie. Way less stuff to do and its solderless, just plug and play. :-)

Awesome video and great job. Thank you man. Local RPi store will be happy to see me today lol

I bought a pi for my nephew. He never built this. Nice to see it finally... on YT

I built my arcade cabinet using just a circular saw, it took me 2 days to complete. Not as clean and good looking as yours but Im happy with the result of mine :)

Really nice dude. You're inspiring me to build my own. I suppose if I wanted to do a full size cabinet nothing changes other than the woodwork.

Avec un matériels comme le tiens ca devient un jeu d'enfant. 😊

absolutely amazing. Wonderful craftsmanship.

Hi guys, just finished watching making my own based on these plans and your video found a nice cheap blue tooth speaker to use. Am going to be making these with my ICT students this year so thanks for the video, very helpful as was I Like To Make Stuff.

I really like how you mention some things you would have done differently in hindsight. This is really cool, inspiring. The electronics and programming for me would be the easier part, the word working is kind of a bottle neck since I don't have any tools, or any room for a shop.

The glue dripping is so satisfying

I would like you to do a how to on that start button. Not sure how you did that exactly. Everything else very clear. Nice work.

Awesome vid. I don't have the wood working skills but I do have the wiring skills so I will have to stick to playing on my t.v. when my pi arrives. Keep up the great work. Shout out from Melbourne Australia

I'm about to finish my prototype which is made with basic tools from throwaway material and looks kinda crappy at places, but about half the ideas I used there are hinted by this video. I think I owe you a thank-you, even for the parts I learned not to use next time. (Already building 2.0)

Love the video, rewatched it a few times cause I love your process. I need to start work on my gaming coffee table eventually.

Awesome builds! You mentioned that you only open it now to hook up a keyboard. You should think about adding a USB header/extension to the side of the cabinet next to reset and volume controls.

Nice Cabinet, I cannot wait to build my arcade cabinet.

Super cool. Wish I had all the tools to try this out.

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.

I'm ordered my Pi a few days ago and i'm hoping to make this sometime :D

helluva woodshop!! good work

Hello thanks for the plans worked amazingly and was able to make one thank you so much

Thought my way of making them w the best. But you have given few ideas I did not think about. Thanks

Lucky u have all those useful utilities

Nice bro! You were really paying attention in shop class!

Great video! You sure do have great hands on carpentry

As much as I enjoy these vids not everybody has fancy workshops. Would like to see a more realistic vid where someone is using basic tools.

This amazing! I wish I had a workshop like that, all those handy tools... I'd totally build one of these. I am tempted to do it anyways, but I know it will be a rough road with basic tools.

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.

This was an amazing build. You are very talented.

Awesome vid great supplement to building on myself since I'm more of a visual learner. I had one issue that caused me a bit of headache and it was that staples actually printed the sides and button layout of the cabinet alot larger than they should have so I ended up with pieces to small for my sides. Simple fix but still wasted a few more hours than I should have

Awesome video!! Thinking about buying one of these for my son this year so seeing this video helps me to understand the labour behind making these cabinets. Keep the videos coming, and again, awesome work man.

Great job! All you need is some cup holders and your good

When I have my apartment soon depending how many rooms I get If I have 3 rooms I'm going to transform the fist room into a game room I Will build those arcade machines but I will need a garage

Wow! What a build. Bravo!

What envy !, you make it look so easy ... but it's not that easy!

amazing the beautiful stuff that one can turn out when they're in a shop with proper tools. I'm in an apartment :(

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.

Youve got some skills there my friend, i wouldnt know where to start even if i had the tools

must be nice to have access to these tools. what would tell some that can not make a box. But great vid.

New video up explaining how I transfer the drawings from the side template PDF to my material for where to attach the support blocks. I am also filming a new build log with some different build designs for my latest arcades! Stay tuned! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acBznMiY3tfJiGw.html

Great job. T nuts should go opposite side so they can't pull out

Inspiring! I can do some basic woodwork, and I’ve fiddled around with Arduinos… could be my next project 😊

I'd advise always installing a set of heatsinks on your pi's. Those CPU's tend to overhead when stressed and your system will shut down in the long end :)

there is some controls now that encode the exit into a usb connector , so you would not need a lot of that wiring at least on the pi side

I recommend a crown lever and sanwa buttons.

Well made! I cant see myself building such an enclosure.

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.

Beautiful and well explained tutorial

I need to take a woodworking class to make one. I'm sitting on this ebay page on a bartop mdf diy set right now but I think i wanna build one myself

love your workshop my hand power tools make it more difficult

Bad ass video! I would love to make one of these but literally have no skills with tools. Still, you made it look so super easy that I'm tempted to try.

amazing job

Had to log in just to thumbs up this video. Awesome stuff, and great video!!

I've seen hundreds of videos like these, all of them using sophisticate tools and saws. Anyone doing that in a simple, realistic, average joe, garage budget way??

I'd love to put some weekends into something like this, but all the woodwork is hard because there are no like 'benches' for hire
