The first (mini!) prototype of the cocktail cabinet, we are just trying a few things at this stage to see some alternatives to sticking a CRT in the box. Might start on this when I get back from holiday, find some wood and get cracking on piecing it together, plan to order some button and stick components before I leave. Commando Bros update tonight.
Hey it's BaoonWash. Just checking out your blog for the first time and saw that you're building a cabinet. I just restored an old Asteroids cabinet over the summer. It's a full stand-up, not a cocktail, but more or less the same.
ReplyDeleteIf you need any help with the build, don't be afraid to hit me up.
Have a good one.

I was going to do a DIY cocktable cabinet. There are actually a bunch of easy ways to do this with Ikea coffee tables.
ReplyDeleteYou'll want to find one that has either a glass top or a glass shelf, then you just cut a hole in the top to fit the screen (LCD is great, you remove the bezel).
You can google around to see what people have done. Just a thought for you!
