Arcade Cabinet Build - Child Sized

 I've made mame cabinets in the past, but this time the goal is to create a child size mame arcade machine.  My son is currently 5yo, so we're talking about 65% scale.

 

NEW TOY ALERT!  I recently purchased a "Shaper Origin" which is a handheld CNC router.  I used it to  cut out all of the panels for this project.  It uses optical measuring, hence the domino tape on everything:

The Origin does a great job of cutting out precise panels:

I bought this authentic coin-door on ebay, the throwing stars are cut out with the Shaper Origin, amazing tool!:

Audio is important, repurposing a PC sound system I've had for years:



Control panel latches down for easy maintenance:
