I need to make a screen door for my house, my house is basically an arcade so I need an arcade themed door. So help me out with some ideas, characters, screenshots logos anything that can be cut out enough to be able to see out of but still be strong enough to be able to keep my damn cats in. I thought about at the top having it say arcade and then some type of character for the lower portion.
 
I'd pick a game or game character or side art, have dptwiz or whomever has a cnc machine do a reverse cutout in wood (solid wood door with the character cut OUT of it so light shines thru in the character shape), paint it however you want, and put a screen on it. Imagine a Centipede cutout artwork or something....
 
If you can weld, or know someone who can, I would make a metal "security" type door out of 1/2" square tubing, and design it to look like a Pac Man maze. The "dots" could be painted or a really cool thing would be to use leds and have the door actually light up...
 
take masking tape and put a character design on the screen and paint the screen. What kind of arcade theme do you plan on using on your toilet and toaster?

Strong enough to keep the cats in? You aren't keeping the Native Placerville cats (mountain lions) in the house are you?
 
This thread title SCREAMS my name... but alas... I couldn't give two shits about your screen door...
