Building my first bartop for my kids.

[MontyQ]

Well as some of you may know I just recently finished my Nintendo Popeye cabinet, which turned out fantastic. So it seemed I had half a sheet of wood left and decided since my kids love my cabinets so much I'd make them a bartop for them to play on. I looked around the web got some sizes and started going at it, so far so good. It has only been like 4 days and I just got the monitor mounted and the marquee plexi cut.

My next steps are painting it and ordering some nice t-molding and art work for it.

Here is the first picture

I well continue to add progress pictures and updates as I can

Remounted the monitor today as horizontal instead, think it well work out better. Tomorrow I well probably cut the t-molding slot out.

Then all I need to do well be parts/art which once ordered and here should only be only a few hours of fun.

Cut out the t-molding slot today and primed the bartop for painting. Ordered all my parts, now all I need to do is order some artwork for it.

Did the t-molding in chrome and installed the art I got from Lucian045. Also made the holes in the plexi for the CPO. All I have to do now is install the controls and wire it all up.

Everything is done all wired up and working great. I just used a Jamma board in this build as I already have a full HyperSpin setup on one of my cabinets as this was just for my kids to play around with. In the end from just left over wood I think it turned out nice.
