      I know I'm hardly the first one, but I think I made a good job explaining all the required stuff I used and how to actually perform the various tasks.

      You can see the end result(s) here:

      Arcade Bartop.

      The full tutorial is a 6-posts-long guide with more than 100 photos (!) of all the various building phases.

      Part 1 of 6: Introduction & Raw Materials

      Part 2 of 6: Tools, Design & Prototype

      Part 3 of 6: Building the Cabinet

      Part 4 of 6: Painting & T-Molding

      Part 5 of 6: Installing the Hardware

      Part 6 of 6: Configuring the Software (Raspberry PI & Retropie)

      Let me know if you like it!

        Great craftsmanship and detailed explanation.

        But for those that don't have access to power tools or can borrow from a friend or nabor a pre cut DIY kit are not always expensive.
