Great video build! Your skill in building is absolutely immense and having a workshop makes it so much easier. My custom build is also black MDF with lime green trim but not a patch on yours! It’s also fixed with pocket screws as well as biscuit joints to hold it together. I’ve always wanted to make another to refine the design of my control panel.
I discovered you channel recently as I'm in the process of building my own arcade cabinet. Great videos, I really enjoy your content. How did you cut the recesses for the trackball and joysticks at the bottom of the panel? Was that done with the shaper? It would be nice to see that part of your process. For now I only have a regular router and I'm wondering if I should make some jigs to get clean and straight edges like yours.
Looking forward to another build series. I just finished a 4 player pedestal myself and got to spend a good amount of time playing Shredder's Revenge with my wife and daughter!
The quality of your MDF is the same but this material is black and pre-painted. Unfortunately I can’t order more of this material as it is no longer available here. It looks cool doesn’t it?
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Yes it sure does. Hey it’s ok. You did amazing work on my build. None of us can think of everything. You did a lot of details on our system. It’s amazing what all you did for each detail. It’s was the first of that style for you. Cannot wait to see the features on the next pedestal. As well as all the amazing things you create.
He is back!!!!! I enjoyed the woodworking as always, cant wait for the next part and see it all come together! Those new benches and tools sure made it even more professional looking, not to forget the brown work apron :D. there is nothing more annoying while your in the middle of work and you cant find the marker for example. Anyways great part 1! Groetjes!
I see that all players are getting 8 buttons. I believe that the success of Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge will help developers realize we need more games of this type. I believe the new TMNT uses 6 buttons, and the Start button, so 7 total. Good call in my opinion on giving more buttons than the 'standard' build.
Daniel, why did you hammer in the brass inserts for the trackball pocket but then drilled them in for the Servoistik pockets? Were the inserts different for the Trackball vs the Servostillks? And are all the holes you drilled for the inserts the same for all accessories 6mm?
Awesome work, love your video's Daniel. The craftsmanship (and your new Festool tool's) are great. I'm in the midst of a new build myself and you are providing a lot of great guidance to me. If I may ask, have you always used a CNC provider for your control panel routing or did you first try it yourself and decided to outsource? I was planning to do the routing of the top panel myself with pattern bits but I may look to a CNC shop for preciseness, thank you!
your work is made with love, well done and so professional. how do i contact you about purchasing one of your pieces of art? and asking specific questions? thanks and all the best!
Hi Alex, It is not available here anymore. I bought the complete last inventory here. I hope I don’t make too many mistakes as I only have one panel as backup 😂🙈
First time I've ever seen black MDF and Ive been using MDF for builds for 30 years! Love how it looks, I'll definitely looking for this in future build! Awesome video and arcade cabinets!!
Great video coverage of the build... quick question for @TheDanielSpies - did you ask for the person to precut those panels for you already - how was the pricing?
I create the designs in Autodesk Fusion and send them to a CNC company. The wood itself is of course the most expensive, CNC is around 700 euro for a full size cab I believe.
Time to get a yeti smart bench CNC! At around 7000 Eur it handles a full sheet of MDF. 10 builds and you have it paid for. Best of all it folds away when you don’t need it meaning your workshop stays clear!
@@ipercade8495 trend yeti smartbench cnc - I have no affiliation just a happy customer. The killer for me was the fact it all collapses / folds up and so I can store it out the way in my workshop when not in use. Lots of people who have them make the comment that they pay for themselves in weeks. Yes there are better CNCs out there but not at that price point and certainly not ones that fold away (that I am aware of)
Part two is in the making 😅 🎥
I wish I could get my hands on those plans to build my own 2 player and 4 player cabs. Love this
Hi John, thanks for your comment- you can email me at thedanielspies at gmail.com for the available design set purchases. Thanks, Daniël

I use a cnc machine or the Shaper but you can also make templates and use a normal router (or skip the recesses totally)
Always always appreciate your builds professional and sharp. Your designs are inspirational and your build quality is admired.
You are famous Daniel... with your awesome builds shipping world wide 😲
We need to catch up some day buddy ! 👍
Great idea 🍺 👍🏼
Looking Good Daniel!

Wish I would have known there was such a premium wood for mine. Looks really nice. Nice job once again Daniel.

Great video. Very entertaining to watch. I enjoyed the music and multiple cameras. Your craftsmanship is inspiring. Thank you.
Fantastico Daniel, mi fai venire voglia di progettare una super macchina arcade…
Nice work! Glad to see u switching to cnc high gloss mdf , really makes the build clean. Can’t wait for the result!
Thanks, I can’t wait either 😂
Awesome job as usual, and love all the festool!

Super wonderful build. How long and wide is this new pedestal?
Daniel,
why did you hammer in the brass inserts for the trackball pocket but then drilled them in for the Servoistik pockets?
Were the inserts different for the Trackball vs the Servostillks?
And are all the holes you drilled for the inserts the same for all accessories 6mm?
The trackball comes with inserts that you hammer in. For the joysticks I prefer screw in inserts. M6 is generally okay indeed 👍🏼
Another great video! Have you heard of Kreg’s Foreman? It might save you lots of time on those pocket holes.
Yeah, looks great. I might invest in one 😎
Can you give me the measurements of the wood insert screws? Not sure what I need.
M4 8mm deep
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades thank you!
Great video, another awesome build. Say are those plans available?
Yes, I do sell them. You can email me for the available design sets. 👍🏼 thanks D
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Super, I sure will, thanks.

I do sell the plans, as it takes a huge amount of time, effort and money, I can't share them for free. You can email me for more info. Thanks, D
Which cad program do you use to design your cabinets ?
your work is made with love, well done and so professional. how do i contact you about purchasing one of your pieces of art? and asking specific questions? thanks and all the best!
Hi Karl, thanks for your response. You can contact me by email: thedanielspies at gmail.com thanks, Daniël
Awesome job as usual!!!! Where did you source your Black MDF from? That has been sooo hard to find in my area! Looking forward to part II!
