Building an xbox powered arcade cabinet part 3: Getting ready to build the cab Tube. Duration : 2.97 Mins.


This screencast provides an overview of the cabinet construction. We don't start to build yet, just prepare and let you know what to expect in the next videos and what material and tools you will need.

General instructions for building the cabinet frame are available from koenigs site at www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepweecade.htm I have adapted the weecade plans and have a simplified procedure for building the control panel.

I like to get the 2440 x 1220mm large boards and have the guys at the DIY store cut them into 450mm wide strips. They do this at the local DIY store for free. The panels are all based on 450mm widths so this saves a few cuts. I use 15mm x 15mm wooden batons to join the panels and these are glued and screwed.

Lengths of 15mm x 15mm wooden baton You are going to need some tools to cut ...
