    The videos will be split up into sections that will be more detailed than the last build. I show different techniques and tools to accomplish the same end results so those without a big workshop can still build a great home arcade system.
    I am lucky enough to have a great job as a High School 'shop' teacher and teach students about applied skills that help benefit them in the future. Yes I have tools that many do not have access to but I could also do this build without the use of a bandsaw or table saw if I needed to. Find a way to build something awesome!

    Hi how much would you sell the green 1

    • @WeBuildStuff
      @WeBuildStuff  5 лет назад

      While I don't have that one anymore I wouldn't sell one as awesome as it for lower than $1500. Lots of hours go into it and cost of materials/parts. Handmade attention to detail vs mass produced may have a different appeal to some so it is always personal preference. The Red and black one on the other hand I'm hoping to sell for cheaper since it has been sitting in storage for awhile. I only build for fun and with the purpose of making video tutorials to share with students, teachers, and anyone in the world interested in learning. That being said I don't ship these anywhere, just local sales in the BC lower mainland.
