@hed420 2 жыл бұрын
@@dustinm2364 Yes, I've thought about making and selling this and other things but the problem is that I live in South America so shipping to the USA would cost more than the product . Otherwise I would be selling things on etsy. I could sell these locally but they won't sell well because people here either can't afford it or have more important things to spend their money on like food and rent . So unless shipping becomes more affordable, or if the client is able and willing to pay for the high shipping prices, I'm out of luck. Ideally, it would be awesome to find someone to fund me to make a container full of these, ship them to an Amazon warehouse and you could just order them straight off of Amazon with free two day shipping to your door. Since shipping these in bulk would help reduce the shipping costs significantly .

Very nice looking but I think the controller table should have a small angle, not 90, and have a round over to not hurt your wrist/forearms. Also I would be worried about someone getting too much into the game and applying to much pressure on the controller table, since the screen section is acting as a stop, it will absorb all the impact and will eventually break.

Totally awesome build. Never stress about or underestimate pocket holes. I know lots of woodworkers frown on them or say they are "traditional joinery". Lots of antique furniture that is beautiful has pocket holes. They were just hidden better than they are now. I use them alot for their convenience and strength. Love you videos and would love to see a full lathe rebuild/restore one day.

Okay folks - if you are in Australia, 18mm plywood is more common. The best way to tackle this is to make the side frames measure 210mmx598mm and the top frame 210x574m. The setout dimensions for hinge holes etc will need to change. All other dimensions can stay the same. Haven't built it yet, but did sketch it out in 3D to check the impact of changing to 18mm thick ply. Hope it helps! Glad I could support this awesome project by buying the plans!
