I also ordered all the artworks and some other misc.

This took MUCH longer than I’d have thought possibly because neither of us are woodworkers. After drawing out the sides on cardboard we finally made some cuts. This also means we’ll need a lot more bracing though. People typically use 3/4″ but we wanted to cut down on weight. We decided to use 1/2″ MDF for the cabinet. Week 1īefore we started any cuts we did a lot of planning. I also have to thank everyone at BYOAC Forums for all the tips and guides they’ve provided. We’re using plans provided by Jakobud but these are really more of a guideline than anything. Disney actually made some cabinets to display as publicity but they’re not really for sale. If you haven’t, it’s a fake arcade game designed to look like it’s from the 80’s, in an identical cabinet that Nintendo’s Donkey Kong used. If you’ve seen the movie Wreck It Ralph you’ll know what I’m talking about. So, we’re building a Fix It Felix, Jr Arcade Cabinet. My Dad and I decided to do a project together, and I’ve always wanted my own arcade machine.
