Hey guys, I am new to carpenting and I am going to make an arcade cabinet w/ MDF for school. It is a bartop one and I work with the metric system, anyone got a good plan for a first try guy?
I'm no carpenter, but something like that pic cant be that hard.
make a plan with dimensions and cuts.
measure twice, cut once.
buy more material than you need, so you can fuck up and try again.
that curve on the side pieces can be easily cut with a router on a swivel, google router cur curve.
haven't worked with mdf that much, but i assume that its easier to rout without ripping because it doesn't have a directional fiber pattern grown wood.

CRTs are no longer being manufactured. Get one while you can before the last bit of supply dries up.

Really? Carpreterpreter...
Here's the plan I made for my bartop machine. It didn't turn out exactly like this, but it worked pretty well.
The finished product used toggle clamps to hold the controls onto the frame. This was good, because I used cheap shit ebay control boards at first, and they shit the bed and got replaced with an ipac.
