Here is a little project that I have been working on, on the side. It has a 15" touchscreen and a 22" display for visualizations, music videos, and karaoke. The thread over at byoac has all the details, but here is a pic of the latest update.

The detail thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=81866.0)

Wow ... Simply amazing.

I just read the other thread.

Very nice

Have you weighed it? with using the mdf and all the equipment its going to be pretty heavy?

Makes my wall mount juke look like a complete PoS. Nice job so far!

Read your detail thread and I'm blown away! Great info! Do you mind if I ask how much one of those shopbots cost? Just wondering as I would love to get one, and knowing how many times I have to whore myself out would be great1;)

You can find more info at www.shopbottools.com. I have the 96" model that is a PRTAlpha (I think it's a generation older) that I spent about $12K (IIRC) on. It's currently sitting in storage until I decide to either pay to wire up the shop at the rental house we're currently in, or decide to move again.

Of course you still need a computer, router, bits, etc. to run it. Possibly dust collection and/or a vacuum holddown system all add up too. I'm embarassed to admit that I've still never completed a poker table with mine. I did some inlays for one, but the table itself still hasn't been completed.

You can see some of the inlay's here: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=rowley&w=17868843%40N00

It was going to be an old west theme, with the wanted posters on the sides and the ovals around the ends. There was also a Butch Cassidy that isn't pictured. There were two each of the ovals and one each of the four wanted posters for a total of 10 inlays.

The buzzard sign is a 3D sign I did for my mom's 50th birthday.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm a shop teacher in Ohio. Between coaching football and that, the jukebox has slowed down. I hope to have it finished before school starts, but I don't know...............

Was somebody wanting an update?;)

Things are very very close to being done. It doesn't look like much right now, but much like OCC, I am mocking up the jukebox completely then I am tearing it down for paint. As always, you can find the latest updates here:

Not much to report. Every three to four months I get excited and try to bend the light diffusers and after failure, I stop for awhile. I have the next round of diffusers in the back of my Murano right now waiting to go down in flames. :cool:
