So, my roommate and I spent two weeks at school (the first 2!) working on this little project for our floor.
We have an old Joust machine on floor that I am working on restoring, but we wanted to make a custom cabinet running a game I'm writing for others to enjoy without harming this Joust. We liked the cabinet shape though:
So, we measured it and traced it on some nice cabinet plywood (it was worth the extra for the cabinet grade):
Then we got cutting.
The first side looked good! We traced it for the other side:
Here's my pudgy freshman ass doing some cutting of side 2:
A few other simple cuts, and we had the basic shape down. A $10 fluorescent fixture and a nice old 21" Sun CRT monitor were bolted in place:
