So I started yesterday my first arcade (making 2 similar units at the same time), from 19mm MDF.
M
Just used a router with a strait bit and a drill for the first piece, and a template bit for making the other 3.
The size is about 185cm tall and 54cm deep, the length will be about 84cm, to accommodate comfortably 2 players.
