chernandez Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 My name is Chris and this is 1st post to forum and 1st real woodworking build using hardwood I'm very new to working with hardwoods but been reading up for awhile I've been wanting to get into just never got the chance till this year. So on to my arcade I built my original arcade about 5 years ago out of mdf and painted black But of course wife said it didn't match with new house and so the beginning of the build started. It will play about 15,000 games anything for Atari nes sega arcade etc Was built out of 4/4 black walnut about 3/4 after plane down on side I double up to give it thicker profile finished with tung oil After I had arcade I decide to start a pinball build I have about 200 tables on it from 70's to now Made out of black walnut also has 3 tv's all stainless and aluminum is polished out and sits flush with wood also put tung oil on it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Man, that arcade console is seriously sweet! That came out really well. Can you give us any more details on sourcing the electronics for a multi-game machine like that? You have my wheels turning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
