Building my first workshop, one project at a time.
It's been my dream for many years now to build a workshop to expand my woodworking hobby. After many years of saving and waiting, that dream finally in 2022 became reality. It's now time to move out of the tiny garden shed and into a space where I can learn and expand and more importantly share my passion with you.
This channel is dedicated to all those backyard weekend woodworking warriors who share the same passion I do for all things 'do it yourself'. I hope to share my workshop and future project builds with you all.
Thanks for visiting,
Anthony

A DIY custom bartop arcade gaming machine
In today's video, I rewind the clock 30 odd years to the golden age of the console where graphics were in the bits, and spending an afternoon with Mario began a lifelong love of all things gaming.
This video covers my DIY bartop gaming cabinet build, a really fun and challenging project almost anyone can attempt.
If you've been dreaming of having a retro gaming cabinet in your home, but lack the space, a bartop cabinet can be a great compromise.
If you're interested in building your own, I have my Google Sketchup file in the links below.

Excelente trabajo. Realmente el video es espectacular. Queremos realizar el proyecto y buscando en youtube, puedo decir que es un video muy completo. Muchas gracias por competir tu experiencia ya que nos alienta a intentar realizarlo. Abrazo grande desde Bahia Blanca, Argentina
Thank you !
Absolutely incredible man! So much detail and stunning end result! Liked and subscribed 😉 😎
Thankyou!
You could chamfer the ends of the rails to decrease the chance of the blocks catching when they slide back on. However, it seems like you got a pretty perfect alignment already.
This is good thinking, and worth pointing out that I did actually do this. While the rails did have some chamfer to the edges, I did come back with a file and increase it to make it easier to re-engage. I would highly recommend this to anyone else as well.
😗👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼nice
Thank you!
Great video again Anthony. Don’t tell the others as they will get jealous, but you’re fast becoming my favourate UA-cam woodworker! An awesome build that had me traveling back down memory lane thinking about all the games I use to play.
Great work using leftover material. You've inspired me. I have a bunch of Baltic birch plywood offcuts that are just to pretty to toss out. Now my brain is swimming in ideas. Thank you. Your coasters turned out great. I especially like the weave pattern. Subscribed. Take care.
That is awesome!
Maybe a good solution to not have the rails in the way is to have the rail blocks stationary and the rails fitted to the sled itself ?
That could work, and I've thought about that as a solution, however, I do think there is one major flaw in that idea. In order for the rails not to leave the guide blocks still, you have to move the mitre gauge closer to the middle of the sled. If you leave the mitre at the front edge of the sled, you have the same problem, you have to leave the first guide blocks at the front to get through the cut because you have to go beyond the table saw blade exit. You would solve that by making the sled MUCH longer and moving the gauge further up the table (to a point it's past the blade without it being off the blocks), that however means when you draw the sled back, you have this massive amount of wasted sled that sticks out. I've modelled this in Sketchup and it honestly would work, but would have a huge footprint.
That was awesome mate. What do you think it cost you all up?
In AUD: About $80.00 in pine panels. If you did this in MDF I wager it could be much less, around $40 instead. Monitor was $50.00 on ebay. Buttons and joystick kit was $75.00 The vinyl wrap was about $40.00 for both large sheets. Other misc stickers and decals I found, around another $40 odd dollars So probably about $250 AUD total, not including obviously any other hardware that drives the device, such as a PC, Raspberry Pi etc etc. I used an old Intel NUC, the model of which I believe can be still found on ebay for around $50.00. So all in It's possible for under $300. Opt for say MDF instead of pine, and maybe paint instead of vinyl and you probably can get away with way less than $300.
Love the build mate! So cool, shame you cant keep it for yourself.
Why is that just about all the built bartop arcades I have seen on youtube or on Ebay for sale are using horizontal monitors? The problem I see is that a lot of games like Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Burgertime, Punchout and tons of shooters use vertical screen. If you use horizontal monitor your screen get shrunk down a lot - you'd have huge black frame over the screen of the game. The best way is to have 2 arcade bartops: one using horizontal screen and the other using vertical screen. That way you'd get to have the best of both worlds. I don't see too many built arcade bartop arcades with veritcal screen. Another way around it is to have a software program that is coded within Batocera or Hyperspin to automatically adjust the screen according to your screen size and resolution. I dont' think the author of Batocera or Hyperspin has thought of that ..or I am expecting too much. I think it's software possible.
When you consider just how many different types of games, platforms, form factors etc are possible, any custom arcade build is going to be an exercise in compromise. I went with a 4:3 monitor (which isn't widescreen) purely because the types of games I want to play were designed in that aspect ratio, and yes, if I were to play certain other games, those would probably suffer due to the screen. Now of course if you prefer certain games, classic retro arcade like the examples you provide, then I agree, mounting a widescreen monitor vertical would be a better choice, however that would be, as you correctly pointed out, a different cabinet. But hey, means maybe another cabinet? Can't be a bad thing can it? :)
Awesome build, what would you do differently the next time?
Great question. I don't think I'd change much in the overall design, I think I got the dimensions and proportions pretty good for this configuration. The only tiny things I would change is the radius of the round over on the sides, it's just a tiny bit too tight and it made putting on the T-Moulding a challenge, but really that's a tiny thing. Who knows, I might make a revision that's the whole cabinet instead. That would be fun I think!
@@barberspaddockwoodworking it's on my bucket list of things to build. I think you got the sizing right. Curious to see how much it would cost for Mortal Kombat / Street Fighter vinyl prints
They definitely %100 exist if you look at places like Etsy, but they are $$$. I nearly did something like that, but then the cost of purchase and printing might have been as much as the entire project here. But if I was making one for my house, I would totally go down that path.
I think it’s brilliant - well done. I get that you don’t want to do a video on the electronic part - it would still be nice to know what you used nonetheless. Great job
Going down that rabbit whole is quite the process, and you could do an entire video on that topic alone, which I don't feel I'm 100% the qualified person to speak on....however, I'm more than happy to convoy what I did here. The hardware here is not complex. It's simply an old Intel NUC PC (google Intel NUC), running Windows 7. That's it. Monitor is connected via VGA and the control panel, plus into it using standard USB connectors. Windows detects them as simple USB gaming controllers. So basically what we have is a standard PC running in the cabinet. That's it, nothing fancy. Now I know there are all sorts of wonderful Raspberry Pi solutions etc, but I kept this simple.
Completely agree with the rabbit hole comment - I’m going to go down the raspberry pi path - it’s not as scary as you think it might be…
Just found you from Dainer! Awesome job! Already sub’d and will be binging!
Dude!!! That was the coolest mate. Yes please in the Sketch up tutorial, it’s on my 2025 list. And again! Amazing project
Ha thanks mate, will have to put that on the list.
Definitely on the project wish list.... but a 4 player one for some TMNT and D&D action! 😁😁
Now you're talking!
Awesome!!
nice one Anth! The very first big project I ever made was my own fullsize arcade cabinet, that's a while back now, must be more than 15 years or so...bugger, that went quick 😲 That machine was my gateway drug into all things woodworking, so I'm always down to watch another arcade build. 😁
I'm very very tempted to make a full sized cabinet one of these days, but will need to find the room first!
Nicely done! I always liked the Tron arcade games but loved all arcade games and pinball machines. I was blown away with the "Time Traveler" holographic game and would love to see someone build one.
Same here!
Love this!!!
Thank you!
Hi bro, I'm from Argentina. I was wondering if you would share the plans and measurements for the mess. The truth is, it's very good. I congratulate you.
Hi bro from Argentina. Check out the first pinned comment and the description for a link to some PDF drawings. If you're interested in my Google Sketchup file shoot me an email, or hit me up on insta! Thanks for your support!
The one thing missing in my life, is a camera on my laser. I need to do something about that. 😊👍
I think that lightburn supports pretty much any camera, so I think if you have an enclosure you could connect one up easy enough.
Class 1 all the way when I get one. I swear these things are getting cooler every week. Such a great workshop tool, well demo'd mate, I am sure Creality will be well chuffed.
Great video Anthony, absolutely smashed it. I love my laser, I’m tech phobic but they are quite easy to start using. I really wouldn’t be without it.
I really like the look of lasers and have looked at loads and seen loads of vidoes from loads of creators that have them. Id love one but problem is for me cost i just cany justify a decent one for the price they cost even though i no eventually it'd pay for itself 🏴👍😬 ps no one in my area has this but again cost and a can't get one for free 😢
I hear, you. The good news is they keep coming down in price so they are becoming more and more affordable. It depends on what you want to achieve with the laser, but you can do the exact same workshop projects using a 20w, like the Algo Delta I had previously, which is selling for less than $800 (AUD) and even cheaper when on sale, and those are excellent workshop lasers IMO.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking yea a must say I have seen they seem be coming down. My main aim for them really is engraving and cutting specific things (beard combs maybe few templates) no one in my area here in Scotland that I can find offer's the laser personalised service so I feel could capitalise on that market but it's the initial outlay that needs convincing/justifying (the wife mainly) if your ever offered another or an upgrade send one Scotland bound 😁🏴👍
Sharks. With lasers.
🤣
Thanks Anthony, another very informative video. I'm warming to a lazer but have no room in my two car garage. I'm doing a bit of rearranging so may have room for one by the time summer arrives, (hurry it's dammed cold here in Riddels Creek). What's your next project, or are you keeping it under wraps ? Love your videos, keep doing what you are doing don't change a thing. See you soon mate. kmdc Riddels Creek.
Next project was all over my insta so if you're not there! But it has a childhood geek element to it and it should be out by the end of the week!
Agree with all. They are so handy
What's the best place to get quality and cheap formply in australia?
OH BOY! If you find out the secret to this question, you'll be my hero. At the moment, all my formply comes from Bunnings, it's the only local place that stocks it. I know there are some other online places to get it, but I can't get it shipped to country VIC/NSW without it costing as much as the plywood in the first place. If you crack this puzzle, you MUST let me know because god knows I go through alot of formply.
The biggest fear for me was spending money and not getting my head around it but after pushing myself on the tiny router cnc you sent me I found it to be quite easy to use so I’m doing research now to find a good laser as it will be a great asset in my work space and thanks for giving me that push to try something new that I don’t think you realise you did.
Absolutely Love Your Workshop!! It’s So Neat, Tidy, & Organized!! You Do Awesome Work As Well!!
It's all smoke and mirrors Eric, you should see it right now. HA! But thanks for the compliment.
Why use a laser cnc instead of a router cnc ?
Excellent question. The reality is, there is no reason why you couldn't do any of the workshop projects I've done on a CNC instead of a laser. Hell any of the laser files I've provided for previous projects will work in CNC software as also, if you're inclined to do that instead. I do actually own a small CNC (very basic), but even if I did have a bigger/better one (it is on my maybe list), it would still be faster to make these on the laser IMO. For small, let's say delicate items or small parts (example the dust shroud) etc a router bit will be just too big to get the job done. My original prototypes for the magnetic coupler were actually done on a CNC, but it took 4 or 5 times as long to produce those as it does on my laser and I couldn't get it as clean.
Hey mate, great work! Is there a possibility you may share the design of the blast gate?
Hit me up on email, and I can send you the laser files.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking I would like to, but I don’t have your email address.
anthony @ barberspaddockwoodworking . com
A really great video and error analysis. On a general note, it is very bad engineering practice to use multiple countersunk holes as a precision locator, since unless they are very accurately cut, they will all fight against each other. By all means use a single countersunk fixing to locate a part in a single plane, but the remaining fixings should be plain fasteners in oversize holes. For multiple components (two pairs of ball slides and two rails for example) then only one pair of fasteners on one rail should be countersunk whilst all others should be in clearance. Ditto the rail.
This is good advice and probably something I should have mentioned, that on the second attempt, I 'shouldered' out the counter sinks (if that's the term to use) so they are flat rather than tapered, that's why they are so deep. This is likely part of why I struggled the first time, but was able to get it sorted the second.
I have a S 3020 VEVOR I can’t make it work I go settings and Z runs up to stop and have turn it off. Thank you Russell
Love the build, thanks! Being on a trolley is something I need.
We have the same source of warm and fuzzies... Workshop homes 😂
Manufacturers of sliding table saws like to have the sliding mechanism as CLOSE to the blade as possible. So whenever I see a DIY or homemade version I always wonder why people would keep the left side cast iron wing on the saw. It affects functionality of the sliding mechanism. Anyways, just an idea.
It's always going to be a compromise isn't it. Ideally yes, if I could remove the wing I would, but then the rails for the fence would be in the way and I cannot move or cut them without severely reducing the capacity of the saw (or weakening the whole saw), defeating the purpose. It's probably for this reason, as you say, why people keep the wing on. I'm not saying it's a perfect solution, but all things considered, I've increased my cross-cutting capacity with little to no real issues. I may, one day revisit this and see if there is a way to engineer something that can go in-between the left wing and the main body, but honestly, by that time, I'll probably be shopping for a new saw, and I'm sure some sort of sliding mechanism will be on the cards then as well. Appreciate the constructive comment.
You know those stickers they put on products for the stores, peel off right???
I had no idea!
Good brain work
I loved the video! I only have one question, what is the distance between the side pocket hole and the edge of the board on the sample?
So from the back of the side pocket, to the edge of the rail? About 25mm. You're welcome to my Google Sketchup file if you want the complete file for the table. Just hit me up in an email.
Glad I got in quick, wouldn't want you to run out of coasters before you made mine. 😁😁
It really was touch and go there. I probably need to stock up.
Great video bud! Definitely given me ideas on how I could potentially do up the new workshop
Great video again mate. It all looks so neat. The shed looking awesome.
Another great video. Always good to get your tools and stuff mounted on something. You have taken the humble pegboad and by using the lazer, elevated it to a better use. Well done. A bugger about the cutting error, we have all been there. Good Jobe. kmdc Riddells Creek
I have to say your attachments look and function way better than the ones you can purchase at Bunnings.
I likey mate! Think I’ll download a few of those. And maybe laser cut my own peg board 😂 not even joking
Love it. You always make me feel guilty for not getting anything done myself.
well done!!!

Was this all just "box store" bought lumber? Or is that some kind of higher end hard wood? I've done a ton of projects, but usually I'm just building shelves or something similar for function, and have never worried much about appearance. But I'm redoing my garage and building some benches/workstations and want these to look better than what I typically do. I know jointing/planing can make even basic 2x4s look much cleaner and fancier. Is that what you did here?
Correct, what you see is all off the shelf 'box store' bought lumber. The framing timber I used is what is called in my big box store as 'pine shorts', which as the name suggests is just short pieces of '2x4' (or in AUS that's 35mm x 75mm). These are very dry, and generally straight since they are quite short and clean up really nice when planned/sanded. The top is made of FromPly, this is a special type of plywood with a hard resin surface which is great for workbench tops etc. Glue won't stick to it, and it's resistant to marking or denting. So far it's holding up great.
