lol, my warehouse is next door to Adam Savage's, and i wish he did stuff like this in his

he's all about cosplay stuff and props nowadays

My friend's father had a pair of "meat gloves" He worked as a material and device tester and his specialty was burn testing. The man's hands were 2 sizes too big and it was from a lifetime of dangerous testing.

Adam doesn't want to have the same fate, I'm sure.

lol, definitely. he has a story about not wantinf to be tazed on his youtube, where he basically says even though tazers are supposedly non lethal there is still a chance. lol

yep, i watch his youtube channel 😅

I go through periods of keeping up with it. I quite enjoyed the Jim Henson workshop stuff he was doing last month.

I have such a workshop. And occasionally nothing to do with myself. Send instructions for fabrication and I will make the crazy things.

Make a MAME cabinet.

Like, just the shell? There appear to be a lot of options for how to do that depending on what accessories you want to install and your style and height preferences.

Not just the shell, silly. Make a working arcade machine with a bunch of different games in it. Mookie made one and posted pics. I made two but didn't post pics.

I feel I need pics to set the expectations here. But also other than building the cabinet, it seems everything else is just an assembly you purchase and install?

You can buy a ready-made computer that comes with all the software and games. Just add your own monitor, speakers and maybe an amplifier. Then, of course, the joysticks and buttons. I get mine from https://www.ultimarc.com/. You may also want artwork, including a control panel overlay and a marquee. https://gameongrafix.com/ is the place to get those.

You could also set up your own computer with MAME and a front end loader you like. Hyperspin is a popular one.
