Bob this is really inspiring, particularly how you designed it so multifunctional, making great use of the space. Big thanks from Swedish musician/instrument builder
Dude you killed it. I rarely post but felt compelled to tell how impressed I am. This is awesome. Love the design, love the speed (I know, editing and stuff) and I love how you're putting this together in such a small place with sheet goods. Makes me feel like complaining a lot less and doing a lot more. Great stuff Bob. Genuinely can't wait to see the rest.
I get what you're saying but in all honesty, you can build a cabinet basically just like this with a simple saw and probably a sander. It doesn't have to be quite as "complicated "as this may seem. You're just cutting and nailing a few wooden boards together. Sure, some of the tools he used may make things slightly easier, but very nothing that couldn't be done with very simple /basic tools just about anyone would have in the garage. Don't let some of the "fancy" tools intimidate you. Woodworking is a very simple and ancient thing that's been done for thousands of years, LITERALLY... lol
@@jordanjohnson7264 exactly ...iv watched several videos like this and i get a little irritated, it just seems to me that its just to showcase the elaborate tools and how2. pen glue nails wood/material a jigsaw and sandpaper and you can get your mancave looking like your own retro cade..iv made plenty
This is awesome. After seeing your shop tour, I really appreciate how you make use of the space you have, and use tools that most people have or can purchase - i.e. all the cuts with your circular saw. Really challenges me to stop complaining that I don't have the right tools.
Your videos are like an instructive audio book. Calm, clear, nice voice and directions. And I still love your timelapses and jumpcuts, the work that goes into editing your videos definitely pays of. :) Thanks for putting all that efford into your projects and your videos! I think by now you can look at what you've created so far and be proud of yourself. Someone needs to say that from time to time, just so you know it
I have no workshop, no access to an sort of tools, and I've never been too interested in carpentry. And yet your videos interest me so much. What you make is incredible. :)
+Jonathan Smith Thanks so much! Hopefully you'll be inspired to make something at some point, even if it's nothing like the stuff that I make! Thanks for watching!
+I Like To Make Stuff Ever since I started watching your videos I'd told myself that as soon as I can buy my own house, I'm re-watching your secret door bookcase video and building one of those. :)
Bob,You are a big inspiration for me,When I grow,I want to animate,Be a mascot,And now...Make arcade games. Thank you for these videos,I hope it inspires people as much as it does me.
A while back ago i was thinking of making a arcade cabinet and was bummed because there was next to no good tutorials on RUclips. Glade to see this video pop up in my subscription box!
I made my own table top arcade box months ago with the lackluster woodworking skills and tools I have and I'm super jealous of this product! Can't wait to see the finished cabinet
HUGE congrats Bob! I know you've got to be relieved to be at the end of this monumental project; AND happy with the results of all the blood, sweat, and tears.
Dang! I've always liked your stuff because they always look like polished and complete pieces that someone would pay top dollar for. But you outdid your self on this one. You're setting a really high standard for yourself. Can't wait for the next part.
That was really smart to utilize all that space and turn it into a drawer system. I also love what you did with the monitor to make it look like a CRT.
I love this guys channel. It's like what grant Thompson's channel used to be, before he changed it all and now it's crap. You should do a collab with him.
Very cool, totally worth the wait ! You can tell There is so much Thought that went into this. I really like the bezel, the shelving idea, the whole thing so far !
The cnc machine is dumb, just use an actual 27" crt. They are a dime a dozen at Goodwill just make sure it has power return so that if you lose power it returns to the correct input on its own when turned back on.
I love this project, I lost count of how many times I've watched it, I'm running this project now, with a few different little details, adapting to my environment and use.
Started but never had the time to finish a similar project.. Gave me plenty of ideas and motivation to restart even if i'm faaaar away from having all those beautifull pieces of wood and tools you've got ! Thank you for sharing !
Awesome build ❤ I'm building a cabinet around my switch and r36s, still in the planning stages, got 2 gamesir c2 (to lazy to build from scratch) that I'll put in it. I'm actually mostly psyked about the fact that my friend will give the cabinet a nice paint job, nothing like enjoying playing a pice with art from lovedones while you're wiping them in streetfighter❤
I watched this video years ago but recently become enthralled with arcade stuff and wanting to build my own arcade cabinet. Looking through a bunch of videos recently on how to build cabinets and stuff like that..... with all those extra shelves you put in you should be ashamed of yourself 😅🤣... but I understand the utility of it. I'm also in the process of coming up with an "ultimate design" for a 4 player setup And not gonna lie it is super f****** difficult 😅. I will say this though, this video put it in my mind 5 years ago that I could build my own arcade cabinet! And people reading this comment (watching this vid) you can do it too!... Take your time and come up with your own design, research the ins and outs and you will have something bad-ass. And to @I Like To Make Stuff ... thank you brotha, for showing me years ago that I could do this... I am right around the corner! Thanks again man.
Incredible work. For those of you that are thinking about making your own arcade, you don't have to be a master carpenter with a wood working shop. There are kits sold online that are not as nice but will affordably (time and material) get you up and running quickly
+IMPUREPALADIN yeah, Doug Bernards "Amplified" recently said MDF can put out carcinogens that are known to cause cancer... just read a couple articles that said it's because Formaldehyde is used to bind the materials that make up MDF
Yeah, told my boss that for years when I worked in a cabinet factory, they said we were NOT ALLOWED to wear any kind of mask or respirator! Breathed that stuff for eight years straight.
Bastian oof you might have a lawsuit due to you constantly informing him of the potential risks and him denying usage of safety precautions, additionally it’s a real good “I told ya so” moment, unfortunately it was at your healths expense
@@yerkyt8586 Yeah, I haven't had any serious effects as of yet, though I do get out of breath a lot quicker than I should compared to people of a similar fitness level to me.

Love it. Based on your previous RPi video, I told my son last weekend that he (12) and I need to build a cabinet for an arcade machine soon! Looking forward to the next video.
If it has the follow arcade versions: -Michael Jackson’s Moon walker -Alien vs predator -TMNT 1989 -The Simpson’s -CAPCOM Vs Snk 2 -Street fighter 3rd strike -Marvel Vs Capcom -Metal Slug 3 -Mortal Kombat 3 -Tekken 3 Then I’ll get it.
BOB ! very cool, I was grinning the whole way through ! The build is shrewd with the storage and nooks. The camera edit, goodness, all the camera angles, so much work there. (I'm sharing this quickly on FB) THANKS for coming up with such awesome content and inspiration. looking forward to the next parts... and that famed artwork that got stuck in the mail over xmas. Keep on trucking !
+MakeFix Thanks so much! There definitely has been a TON of stuff going into this one. Personally, it's totally been worth it, I'm super excited about the finished product :)
I had a dream recently where you had posted the arcade build. In my dream, I sat at my computer and watched RUclips and it was awesome! Livin' the dream!!! Woo!
WHOA man that is AWESOME! I think the fact that you took the time to make the top have all those cool angles like old arcade games makes you a good guy :D The raspberry pi is perfect for this. You can ssh into it over wifi and not even have to take it out to update it. That is a beautiful arcade machine.
This is awesome! Got about half-way through the video thinking I would do this myself. Shopping list: Table Saw Drill press CNC Machine Vinyl Cutter A space big enough to store all this stuff Some adjustment needed* GREAT WORK!
Bob, WEAR A RESPIRATOR! You inhaled a ton of nasty particulates in this video alone, especially cutting the MDF. Ain't nobody got time for lung cancer.
+Andrew Brinkhaus I don't recall seeing him most of the time to know whether or not he wears one at all, but it's worth noting that these dangers are serious primarily for people who work with these materials and so inhale these particulates consistently on a daily basis over years. I wouldn't want to inhale it anyway, but people far too often exaggerate safety concerns based on occupational safety standards that assume far worse exposure than even people like Bob would handle.
Yeah, told my boss that for years when I worked in a cabinet factory, they said we *NOT ALLOWED* to wear any kind of mask or respirator! Breathed that stuff for eight years straight.
Finally! You have been talking about it for so long on the podcast, but I was beginning to think it was a myth! Like Bigfoot...The cut out for the monitor was brilliant!
At Last! well worth the wait. Nice work Bob. On the second time through the video I played > "how many different shirts does Bob wear in this week's video?" I counted 13 with 2 making more than one appearance.
Wow... Amazing job! When (not if) I'm going to make such a cabinet I'll make sure I can easily take it apart againt in case I need to move it downstairs, or re-assemble it somewhere else.
Hi Bob great build mate. I'm building an arcade as well using a pi. I have found a simple way to add sound to the pi if your using a pc monitor. You use the VGA monitor cable and buy this. HDMI TO VGA adaptor with a 3.5mm audio pin. You add this adaptor to your VGA cable and plug your speakers 3.5mm plug into the adaptor. That's it. You will have stereo sound.

+I Like To Make Stuff This looks great so far!!! Nice work!!
My thoughts exactly. Love the amount of storage you built into the cabinet. Looks great!
As soon as I noticed the storage space in the back, I could imagine a mini fridge full of beers :D
A video illustration of why I want more tools that I can't afford.
That why I ordered the wood precut and drilled from Spain... Was cheaper than local

a marker
Its like Nerdy Nummies but with wood and stuff. XD
The cnc machine is dumb, just use an actual 27" crt. They are a dime a dozen at Goodwill just make sure it has power return so that if you lose power it returns to the correct input on its own when turned back on.
Most people (myself included) will avoid CRT due to weight.

2. I Don't have the proper tools
3. I have no work shop.
You can take plans to a cnc/milling shop and they'll cut everything for you. They have plans for all kinds of classic cabinets.
@@pdxmetal very true...you dont need 3 thirds of the elaborate tools here in this video and many like this

Hi Bob great build mate.
I'm building an arcade as well using a pi.
I have found a simple way to add sound to the pi if your using a pc monitor.
You use the VGA monitor cable and buy this.
HDMI TO VGA adaptor with a 3.5mm audio pin.
You add this adaptor to your VGA cable and plug your speakers 3.5mm plug into the adaptor.
That's it. You will have stereo sound.
In Australia this adaptor costs $40 from office works.
In the states I'm sure Wal-Mart or similar store should have them.
this is insane. can't even think about all the angles and extras added.
