Looks Ace that. You done it all yourself then? I mean the cutting out etc of all the wood.
Some tips on that part of cutting out would be great, I've got machines to rebuild, I've done 2 sides and a few other bits but need to start again with different wood. Do need a better router also
To be honest if I was making a replica of these myself, think I would of redesigned it a little. I find it pretty uncomfortable with solid wood seat but main issue is no room to put your legs because of the cash door at the front, I think they should of made it with cash door in rear section so u can stretch legs out under CP
It's certainly the way to go with cabs you can't get these days and you can play multiple games in it which is always nice
Very Cool Mate and giving you something to do, Win Win
Hi Bods,
Yeah it is all totally hand made, it took a while to hand make the templates using 18mm ply but that was worth it. Many hours carefully cutting and sanding the profile to the shapes I needed but only had to do it once. Now I can make many.
A few tips I found along the way were, after making the template I used it to make another template using a thin bit of MDF ( 6mm ). The reason for this was so when I screwed down the 18mm ply template on to its backboard I still had the 6mm template available to allow me to draw around it on to the work pieces.
I also drilled 2 location holes through the 6mm MDF in to the 18mm plywood template and fitted 2 pegs so that when I did draw round the 6mm MDF template and drilled the location holes on the the 18mm MDF work pieces that I was using for the cabinet it gave me 2 location holes to sit on the 18mm plywood template exactly.
Doing it this way I was able to rough cut all around the pencil marks keeping about 3 mm in so the router had less material to remove, cut outs again I drilled a pilot hole and rough cut using the jigsaw.
I originally tried putting the template on top of the work piece and using a top bearing template router bit but with the Router wanting to tip when template routing on the edge it would tip in to the work piece underneath and ruin it so I reversed it and put the work piece on top and the template on the bottom. This way using a bottom bearing template router bit if the router tipped over it would tip away from the work piece as the bottom bearing prevented it cutting in.

That makes it even more impressive then
Could you put up some pics of the templates, be interested to see what you mean
Like the tip of the working piece on top, will remember that when I start the crossbow machine again, I did sides in Chipboard but cannot get anything to finish it as the original was Satin Black as it's not soft Vinyl, it's more like kitchen cabinet tough finish. so when I sort out what wood to use I have to recut the sides out again, so I was hoping I can use these to trim the new ones down with router with kitchen worktop bearing cutters after rough cut out to get both exact.
Many get all the wood CNC cut out which is great if you don't have space or want to buy tools, I love to try doing it all myself, not only saving money but it's a great sense of achievement

Amazing Anime/cartoon one of my favourites I have them all on DVD
Bods said:Thanks for the pics, great to see that
Probably helps to get the most from the sheets of wood also and when you have 2 of each to do on some parts it makes that quicker
Was hoping that's how I could do my cab. I got a set of 4 cutters like those, would have to check which side bearing is or if you can swap it, they were from aldi, said Kitchen Worktop set I think
You planning on any other builds?
Cheers

No one can be this good at something and it just be their hobby, surely?
My woodworking efforts look like pre-school colouring-in by comparison.
Truly outstanding work
