ALS'/DLF' : your daily dose of Arcade Life Style...inside the Dragon's Lair!
You're kidding, right ?Apart from the looks, which I won't comment on, why didn't you use crimp connectors to connect the wires to the components ? Or at the very least solder them ?
you should have used the overlay...
for my first attempt im very happy with it
Nothing says class, or "I'm a loser cop-out on cabinet art" like fucking marble shelf paper. It's so regal. I feel like I'm gazing upon an italian palace.
I wouldn't have drilled the holes for the joysticks all through the wood. Just screw them to the wood from underneath, so you wouldn't have those screw heads on top.
