It may not look much different from my previous post, but I've put in (quite!) a few hours on my arcade cabinet since then. The most obvious additions are the speakers and the top panels, although I have done other work including counter-sinking screws etc. The top panels and bezel were a bit fiddly, especially when I was trying to measure while using a pencil and holding several bits of wood together. It was during moments like these that I wished I owned a wider range of clamps :) Cutting the speaker holes was pretty straightforward- I used a drill to make some holes, then cut them out with a jigsaw. While I successfully got the job done, I'm glad the speaker covers hide my "craftsmanship" :) The last photo shows my Capcom Street Fighter 2 template, which will come in handy when I receive my buttons and joysticks. Next jobs will be using filler to hide screw holes and sanding ready for painting.
