I am lucky enough to have a great job as a High School 'shop' teacher and teach students about applied skills that help benefit them in the future. Yes I have tools that many do not have access to but I could also do this build without the use of a bandsaw or table saw if I needed to. Find a way to build something awesome!

This build log follows the arcade cabinet build including wiring and assembly using an MDF cabinet and a Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.

This is a basic cabinet that doesn't use vinyl graphics, or T-molding. Those will be used in future builds.

There is still much to be improved with these builds. These are a starter project that still leave much to be customized. If you have cool ideas please let me know in the comments below!

After taping together the side panels sheets measure them before cutting any wood/mdf to make sure your printer settings were correct. I personally use 11x17" paper and haven't tried the 8.5 x 11" paper.
