      @battlecat Thanks!
      Hardwood pallet wood? I can hardly get hardwood in any form here. :(
      My plan was, if I were ever to do this again, would be to use contrasting woods and build it out of a few more "real" pieces (rather than pretending it to have a top and bottom part, etc).
      Hope you'll come up with something. :)

        Yeah there is a few places around my neighborhood that gives me all I want. It is usually oak or some type of redwood. Nice stuff. Sometimes Pine but not usually.

          @battlecat That is amazing. Here, "everything" is pine, and even then, they aren't that available since they are reused

                  @Brigane The thing is, I have no skills at all. :)
                  I'm a complete amateur in building stuff, the only experience I have is looking at people build stuff on YouTube, and then try to pretend that I too know how to do it. Apparently, it works quite well. So, now go do what I do! 😃

                      Nice! Looks cool. Love the use of stain, and how you used the 'lid' to store the controllers!

                          Nice. How do those NES controllers feel compared to real ones? And which ones are they?

                            @Ekstreme Can't really tell the exact "which one" without some digging, but they are the "around $2 a piece from china"-ones and arrived overly sensitive and erratic (check my fix video for it if you want to see the difference).
                            As I remember the NES controllers, I can't recall them being "spongy" like these are. This has not been a issue for me though. Don't know how they would fare in Track&Field type things yet.
