The Final View

One other  peice of business  is a bezel.  It's not very pretty like this.  But I didn't see that I was  going to be able to buy something to fit my custom  hole.

So I just got a peice of black cardboard and cut 4 pieces out and bent them to fit the height of the hole. They just lay right in there  and makes it look  much better.

So here is the cocktial arcade machine as it stands today.  The thing I want to do is get a 1/4" peice of glass for the top.  This will protect the monitor and hold the bezel in place.   But that  will to wait until after Christmas.  Sure it has some flaws, but overall this project turned out pretty good considering I have never built anything like this before.

And the litle stool? It came from Bed Bath and Beyond.

Midway Cocktail Glass Clip Set - 3/4 inch

2/27/2010 - Update:  Last week I went to local glass shop and had them cut me custom piece of 1/4" glass.  I did not get it tempered.  Then I ordered some glass clips.  Now it looks so much better.
