Game Console Construction

This is a high level view of the construction of the console

  • The console “top” I wanted as 28“ (71cm) X 11”(28cm)
  • I wanted an overhang of 1/2“ (1.25cm) on the left/right/front and flush with the back.
  • Therefore, the sides are 10.5” (27.67cm) and the length is 27“ (68.58cm)

Materials

  • MDF Board (I seriously hate this stuff and should have spent the extra $$$) - Hardware store
  • Plywood bottom - Hardware store
  • Plexiglass - Amazon
  • Hinges - Hardware store
  • Primer - Hardware store
  • Internal brackets for support - Hardware store
  • Rustoleum Gloss black (Hardware)
  • Rubber trim (red) - Amazon
  • Rubber padding for the bottom - Amazon

Cutting the pieces

Here's a pic of the pieces. Obviously you can do the math and cut as needed. Remember the bottom will be smaller as it needs to fit into the box.
