It’s been a L-O-N-G time coming (probably longer than you know) but I’m so happy to finally present part 1 of my arcade cabinet build! In case you haven’t seen it, be sure to watch my older video all about setting up the Raspberry Pi (using RetroPie) and the controls. If you’ve got that system all up and running, putting it in something is the next step! I’ve been working on the plans for this system for a long time, rethinking them over and over to include all of the stuff I wanted my cabinet to have. This was especially important to me, since my wife gave me the OK for this to go in our living room. In my mind, that means that it HAD to be as practical as possible (even though it’s completely impractical by nature.)
The biggest difference in my cabinet and the vintage cabinets, is the fact that the modern electronics can literally fit in your pocket, so the majority of the cabinet is empty. I wanted to take advantage of that with my design…
I decided to keep all of the electronics in/around the controls and monitor. This left the area below the controls, and behind the monitor open, so I made them into storage. Underneath the controls is a simple bookshelf with two doors. Behind the monitor was harder to get to, so I designed the cabinet so that one side panel could actually swing open, revealing six drawers, each 24″ deep. Being able to swing open the side panel COMPLETELY changed the structure, in comparison to most cabinets, but I totally think it was worthwhile. Second channel: bit.ly/iltms-2

I wish I was that talented Wow.
Must be amazing to have a garage full of tools!
For some reason I get nervous when I see people handling tablesaws in fast forward mode lol
Is there a way to get Arcade games that were never on PC? Such as Terminator Salvation, ALIENS Armageddon, Even Dark Escape 4D? Or is there no way?
Can you make a phone holder but not out of all the crazy stuff you usually make stuff out of please
I'm an currently learning carpentry at the moment and is my 3rd and final year, this is more joinery, but I'm pretty confident with my joinery skills, this may become a hobby for me and I'm sure you can make quite abut of money for these, I want to learn how to make the actual emulated arcade machine myself also, my uncle is a big lover for arcade machines and retro games, this is a very helpful tutorial but I'm sure is not for everyone, thank you very much
2 minutes into the video I fell asleep from watching work. =(
i wanna ask (maybe you answered already) but why use plywood instead of particle board?
You should have titles this " how to be inspired in 12 minutes"
Ruffly how much would this hole thing cost
is this guy a carpenter
Didnt he already make this
you should make a full size coin pusher
How much does it cost
What is the over all cost including all the hardware and wood
direto do brasil..mais um escrito! ótimos vídeos
I'd really like to make this. As I told you before, I think it's the best design ever for an arcade cabinet. Now that that's out of the way, how easy are the plan to follow and can this be made with basic tools. I don't have all the awesome tools you have, so I have to stick with the basic. I also have no real experience doing this type of thing, but I have time and patience to learn. 🙂 Thanks for making these videos, really liked watching the projet come to life.
You're the real MVP (thanks for all the details on the description!)
you should try to make a claw machine
Why did you choose a 16:9 monitor?
You made it to a million, good job!👍👏
What wood comes in big sheets but you can't see layers of wood from the side
where did you get your parts from??
