So after some hype on social media, I decided to release my initial idea for this project. I am calling it "the Arcade" !!!

First I cut some wood, and will have a video on youtube showing that process that I will share here soon.

Next step was to begin dry fit assembly so I can take some more measurements.

First we create the base, that has 4 casters, two are locking to hold the unit in place. This is very sturdy, each caster can hold 250lbs. I even tested the unit by standing on it like a skateboard.




So I started with my wood dowel bit and dowels that will eventually hold everything together.










Next I used this countersink bit to hide the screw heads





And we have the bottom cabinet






Then I freehand drew the top cutout. After I was happy with the shape I took careful measurements, and made the lines straight. Then I cut one side, and laid it upside down to trace to cut the other side so they were exact.











That is all for now, will have more soon!
