X-Arcade wedges

The front of the cabinet holds the X-Arcade beautifully, but there are a couple of inches of play. Not good if you are taking on the end of level boss, so time to wedge it in. I decided to go for a couple or blocks of wood, with the edges routed to a curve.

Here's the resulting blocks:


I made the blocks out of the same wood that is used to lash the parts of the side panels together.

It's close, but just a little too wide, so the X-Arcade didn't fit between them (by literally a couple of mil each side).

Result? time to do something very dangerous with the jigsaw to trim these tiny lengths of wood. I'd say "don't try this at home" but, to be honest, I don't believe in health and safety, so if you do have to do something similar, use your noodle to avoid staining the wood. And if you are stupid, well, Dawkins and I do agree on the odd point.

Here's a shot of the fitted wedge. Interesting angle:
