So, I built this MAME arcade cabinet in grade 10 tech class (wood shop) as a special project instead of the normal stuff, aka wall clock and box. It’s kind of a funny story actually. I asked my teacher if I could build it and he said sure, so I went online and did some research and I ended up buying some life-sized blueprints of a basic cabinet that I liked. A month went by and my teacher was like “oh that doesn’t look like a desk…” and I’m just like “wowwwwwwwwwww your not serious, it’s an arcade”. Anyways it took awhile for him to figure out what I was talking about but he eventually did and he was cool with it, so the building continued. I built the whole thing by myself in the class, just getting occasional help to help hold the bigger pieces while I was cutting and screwing it together. I finally got it built and literally everyone in the class was playing it 24/7 at school. My tech teacher got so pissed that he actually wheeled it out into a closet across the hall in the middle of the night and told me that he was going to dump it in the trash if I didn’t bring it home soon. So anyways a few days later the vice principal just “happens” to be walking down the hall and was like “hmmm maybe I should open this random closet…”, he did, and he finds two guys sitting in there playing the Simpsons arcade game, yelling at the screen. So basically I got in shit, and I was forced to take it home the next day. Which was a challenge because it weighed like 300 plus pounds.
