Update/notes:
I decided while I was at it with this arcade cab build, I would take on another project, because why not? It will provide a good practice run for the cab. The other project given to me by my friend was a table for drinking games (beer pong, beer dice, snappa).
So, yesterday I went to lumber yard, I was there around lunch time, so that was a bit of an extra delay. I collected the cut lumber for table and cab went over to homies house to build. Please excuse me being shirtless, it was hot and that is the only pic taken during assembly. The only power tool needed was a drill/driver. Other hand tools supplies used: a couple of clamps, wood glue, tape measure, pencil, corner square, sand paper.
I ended up getting a pocket hole jig kit, and damnnn that made the build go super smooth. I got the R3 model for $39, a clamp to use it with is like $10.

Here is a good video on the device
The table for the drunk kids was a good practice before I attempt the frame for the cabinet later today

Just up the street from where I live in Oakland the "Video Game Museum" (themade.org) is having the 6th anniversary party today/tonight. Bay Area people come check it out. Should be fun.
Best Wishes to all
