Building a Custom Arcade Cabinet, Part 1

Building a Custom Arcade Cabinet, Part 1

This video was brought to you by Premium memberships on Tested. Thanks to our members who’ve supported us. Learn more about memberships here: http://www.tested.com/membership

Our next Tested Project is a custom arcade cabinet, built from scratch! Norm and Tested contributor Wesley Fenlon have been working on a cocktail cabinet build, using designs and recommendations found online. In this introductory episode, we discuss the design of the cabinet and our parts list for building. We also bring in Adam’s friend (and ex-ILM modelmaker) John Duncan to supervise and provide guidance for woodworking in Adam’s shop.

Sucks I am just now watching this. I have a nice digital library of old diagrams for cabinets. Very detailed and most are from manufacturers. Downloaded them over a decade ago. Some table top but no 4 player table top.

There is a company whom builds these direct from the lumber mills, warranties and delivers inWashington state. Mens Room Arcades is their name and they are on Clist quite frequently. The equipment is Brand new. Hope this helps people out there and special thanks for making the video.

Great video! This is one of my bucket list builds that I've wanted to do but just in the research phase I put it on hold for all the reasons you guys mentioned about lack of shared knowledge out there. So thanks for sharing!
