Since my school years in which I played at the arcades that no longer exist today I've been dreaming of having my own arcade cabinet at home.
So far, I've been playing my Double Dragon & Shinobi PCB with my HAS Supergun which is an excellent supergun but I was still missing the real thing. Started using it with a Framemeister, but didn't liked the LCD screen and acquired a 25" Sanyo CRT TV wich looked way better.

Finally, a month or so ago I found a local ad in FB of a guy that do CNC cuts, contacted him and the project started! Used the CAD Drawing from the Classic Arcade Cabinet page Double Dragon Plans

I choose 3/4 melamine particle board for the side front and back panels and 3/4 plywood for the cabinet base, control panel and top. Particle board is not as strong as plywood but easier to clean specially when my kids are around 😅 but just to make sure the cabinet holds strong I'll be using 1 in x 1 in wood dowel that I got from the local Home Depot for the cabinet blocking.

Since melamine not friendly with paint I went to a local Sherwin Williams store and got primer and satin black paint that so far is holding very good
