These arrived the other day. They go perfectly with the room.

Barrel Trial Run

Basically just made some rough cuts and tacked it together. This is the end result. We will be switching to 1/2" mdf to make it lighter. For my brothers will be adding a 3rd control panel for horizontal single player games.

DK Barrel Arcade

Inspired by the build "A Barrel of Kong" as seen below.

I obtained 2 different barrels as I will be doing 2 of these builds at the same time. Barrels need a little work, but over all aren't bad. My brother, who will be working on this with me, will be rolling a few new rings for them.

Decasing a 17" monitor is really the only progress I can say I made so far.

Added Mouse Buttons

Work on the arcade is going very slow. It's kind of hard to get any spare time with a new born in the house. However, I managed to add and wire up the left and right mouse buttons. There are only a few things left to do for the control panel. I still need to recess the trackball mount, add some artwork, and cut the plexi glass.
