![]() ![]() Im just hoping that the width will be right and the bar will fit. Not had the chance to do much today.though i did spend an hour or so tidying up the mess left from cutting just a few pieces of plywood.Ĭant do too much until I pick up the side rails and lockdown bar because it seems those pieces may be the governing factor for everything else. There's not much to show for the work involved, but then I suppose it goes to show that these cabinets aren't as simple to make as some people think.unless you're prepared to sacrifice quality etc. First ones only a few minutes long, but covers all the work involved in making the base. If you enjoy part 1 I'll upload more as I progress. I'll hopefully have Part 1 uploaded tomorrow and I'll post a link on here. If not, then you'll be wanting to search for that volume knob before you press play! ![]() If you like Kraftwerk or Jean Michel 's tolerable. So I apologise if it's not your taste in music, but there is the option of turning the sound down. It's a bit of fun really, though the rest of the household think otherwise. I apologise in advance too, because I think adding music to the videos really helps make it more enjoyable to watch, but I once had a video questioned by Youtube as it contained copyrighted music, so after that I always make my own music via Garageband. Just getting on with editing the first part of the video so it's not too boring to watch. Seems like little progress has been made, but in all fairness, today I have what looks like the start of a pinball cabinet, where as yesterday I had 2 sheets of plywood! I also had to cut the base and decided to add a few biscuits to the top portion.not sure of all the technical term for the pieces, but I'm sure it doesn't matter too much. I'd almost finished last night, but ran into a problem last night as all the joints went really tight after they were cut, so I had to take a bit more off today. Managed to finish of cutting all the parts for the base this afternoon. Im sure there will be loads more questions pop up but for now, I just gotta finish this base. How does the glass fit on a pinball machine?Īnd more importantly.where on earth does the tv go, what height below the glass and does it lay flat? ![]() What do I do with the gap between the tv and the back edge? What do I do with the gap between the front edge and the tv? Well, gotta couple of cuts to make tomorrow then the base is kind of done.well cut anyway. Just when you think you've sussed it, something else crops up. The best laid plans of mice and men.I was hoping not to make any mistakes and get this right first time, but the project changes after every cut I make. Plywood is flippin lethal! You gotta be so careful sanding along the edge of this stuff cause when it splinters it really does splinter, and I cringe at the thought of what would have happened if I wasn't wearing my gloves.ĥ. A full size cnc would be great to have right now.Ĥ. My equipment aint that bad, but when you are trying to cut or machine plywood, bigger is definitely better. You need fairly decent equipment to build one of these stress free. Safety has definitely become an issue today because of lack of room.ģ. My workshop is rather small.not really small but small enough to run out of space when the plywood stacks up. I can't believe how much room this project is taking up. If you have lots of money.buy the cabinet ready made! I never realised how much work is involved in making these cabinets.Ģ. Ive got as far as building the base (almost) which took a while, so im guessing this wont be a quick project and hence, I'll upload video in stages I think.ġ. So I'll update this thread for anyone who may be interested in seeing how I get on, and I'll be uploading video of my build on Youtube tomorrow hopefully. I love filming my projects, more for future reference and fun really, but this is something Ive never tackled before, and unlike my other projects, this is fairly big to say the least. I was about to give up all hope, because I don't know the first thing about building a pinball cabinet but I do make small gifts out of wood in my spare time, so I thought.how hard can this really be? I had initially decided to import a ready made cab from the US but then at the last minute I found out that shipping costs were more expensive than the cab itself. I don't intend to go down the route of the other virtual pinball games as they look like you need a degree in rocket science to figure out how to get them up and running. If been asking various questions on various different forums trying to understand how to go about building a cab to play pinball games via steam. Ive started this thread on here for anyone who may be interested in following my 'cab build'.
