and upholstery
done
two-three weeks in the garage destroying my back and working to exhaustion.
Granted, I am really out of shape and exaustion for me equals a couple hours of bending over.
the end result is proof that you can never have too much planning.
My childhood memories must have played a part in it, I basically just put the controls, screen and marquee where they felt right and ended up with a machine which is a towering 6 foot 6 inches!
Doesn't seem like a lot, but when you stand in front of it, even though the controls are comfortable and the screen is at a good angle, you can't help feeling that this monster is a lot bigger than it should be. I am 5'10" so I have to look up at the marquee. Definitely makes you feel like a kid again!
I mean wtf d00d? feed a starving kid or something, I made this mostly out of SHIT I FOUND IN DUMPSTERS. (or in the garage)
that includes the roll of yellow suede fabric, the plywood, 2x4s, 2x6s all sorts of shit.
you'de be surprised how many good wood screws you can get out of a single piece of plywood discarded at a construction site.
this cabinet is made from a single 8 foot by 4 foot 3/4 inch plywood sheet which was covered in carpet adhesive, tacks, staples, woodscrews and bent nails. most of which I used
bunch of scraps I found made a control box, panels and shelves.
