Hey Guys! It's Mike from The Geek Pub. I'm a maker! From Woodworking to Electronics, I make weekend projects that you can make yourself! It's a learning experience for everyone.
I offer regular videos featuring woodworking, electronics, and metalworking that you can watch and then build yourself. Our How-To and learning videos are generally just a starting place for you to make your own design modifications and build them yourself! Mike dives into topics from woodworking, to metalworking, to home improvement. No project is too big or too small.

If you build one of our projects, make a video and post it as a video response to our video! We want to see it, and we want our viewers to see it!

Buenas noches una consulta soy de peru podrias ayudarme para saber que tipo de sistema es el juego y donde lo compraste gracias me suscribi a su canal
Thank you for liberating this arcade machine. God bless you.
Pro Tip: if you really want that cabinet to last, put coat of PVA glue on every square millimeter of MDF, let dry throughly, sand smooth, and repeat a second time. Wood glue works. Do this BEFORE installing any hardware. It will prevent the MDF from absorbing moisture or soaking up water in the event of a minor flood.
We find that a good oil-based primer and paint does a great job. Its certainly much less effort. What you mention definitely works, but it takes a lot of time, and then the wood has to be sanded and finished again. And if you don't apply it to all four sides it really won't make any substantial difference.
Damn that thing looks clean. Very good work
I was able to follow directions and have both my micro sd card and usb working. I have my USB stick configured with the folders and roms. There were a few roms that I put on the USB stick that don't work and I tried to delete them and they still stay on retropie system for some reason. I noticed I deleted the game roms on the USB stick but they're still there. Thoughts?
Could have salvaged the copier for spare parts.
Nope. We tried to give it away to three different recyclers and they would not take it. One said they would, but we'd need to pay $500.
what restrictor gates do your joystick come with? Don't see it on your website.
followed the steps used the usb enables usb roms. tried retropi-mount nothing.
Noooo
Flipping sweet built!!!
If I have to be stranded on a desert island it's with these guys
I which way are CRTs better for arcade machines than a modern LCD?
I like this channel because I learn stuff about electronics and using powertools but also because Mike is so damn sexy!
u are a bad/ass arcade game builder man
The "profit enhancer" exists on pretty much every label maker now - regardless of brand. You found the workaround: print all your labels without cutting and then manually cut later.
Also, apparently, you and David both have nice voices. I like to listen to you guys talking and working while I am working. I get entertainment and get smarter.
The amount of entitled people on the internet is infinite, it would seem.
Why use an Amiga for a cabinet?
Why not use an Amiga for a cabinet?
@@TheGeekPub Nothing wrong with it. it's cool for sure, I was just asking. Seemed slightly more impractical because of it's age but you guys repair these things so no trouble I guess?
@Aspiring-Hobo The Amiga is far newer than most of the arcades we run.
@@TheGeekPub I suppose I was not seeing the full picture
Wow, really great work and craftsmanship. I also love the cablework. Really a really nice and clean machine. Outside and on the inside!
What website did you use to add the games?
Do you think you will be doing any more videos?
Time Rift Arcade Channel.
@@TheGeekPub thank you
Mike, we need a 2024 update!
Thanks, @TheGeekPub! Bought your plans, parts, etc. Put together an amazing table for my girlfriend. She's wanted a Ms PacMan for a long time. Nostalgia from her days of going to Pizza Hut and playing as a child. It turned out REALLY well (and gave me an excuse to buy some new tools). A couple of modifications for anyone interested. The USB speakers were no longer available, so I ended up using some BOSS B653 car speakers and a Kinter K3118. For the monitor I had read that the Dell 2007FPB 20 inch was a great monitor for an application like this. Bought one on ebay. Otherwise followed the plans closely. The one mistake I may fix is I should have used the glass as the outline for the top rather than the printed plans. The glass I bought is sized a bit bigger. That's on me for not measuring twice. 🙂 Girlfriend loves it. You made me a hero!
ok does the flash drive need to be fat 32 or exfat? because it doesnt' copy anything for me.
Maybe put a QR code on it with a user manual for the arcade machine version.
What can use instead of a drill press?
GREAT VIDEO! ps your voice sounds exactly like the 8 bit guy
You know they are brothers, right?
14:53 I love how there's a line of clamps on the edge of the exit door!
I just found your channel. I see you have not posted in a year. :(
Try Time Rift Arcade channel.
Just a quick Question for chargers. I'm building a 9V battery iPhone charger and I want to use a usb connector as the output. Since I'm doing it from scratch, I'm building all the parts myself. One USB connector in particular has a VCC and GND pin but it also has a D+ and D- as well as SHELL pins. What do these mean and I'm wondering if I should just ground the data pins if its just for a charger.
Great video 👌 thanks 🙏
is it really necessary to format the SD card first, when i write an image on it later ? I assume that everything is deleted during the writing process.
When making tutorials, we have to start at the lowest common denominator. In 90% of the cases its an unnecessary step. But then there will be that one guy that has a system recovery USB stick with hidden partitions on it that will say our tutorial doesn't work because his drive won't image.
Just subscribed, great video, thank you so much for making his I am just starting to use Oscilloscopes and I have the same brand, this was a fantastic video for me to feel more comfortable with the device, I will play with an Arduino too and take some measurements
Handjobber
That feeling when a game comes back from the dead never gets old. Yesterday I got a Nintendo red tent working again and I just couldn’t sleep all night I was so elated. What a fun and rewarding hobby :)
I often wonder what kind of case Apple would have designed for Apple I if that was important during the company's formative years! Maybe it would have looked like Apple II, or perhaps like the other wood - cases electronics of the era. Regardless, your marvelous work is a fitting aesthetic tribute to the machine's legacy.
lol, till the 8:24 I was wondering why do you sound so familiar....
I'm trying to make blocks for my son. I'm having a hard time figuring out what letter combination should be on each block. Can you give me any ideas for this or point me in a direction for ideas?? I would really appreciate it. Thank you Good Job on yours they look awesome!
The oscilloscope is my favorite tool on the bench, by far 👍 No less than a duel trace
We are almost finished with our build. I’m confused on the two button towards the bottom of the control deck. Which layout is this?
Microwave water?
OMG you shoulda used the other kinda socket!!
Like I have any idea even what sockets there are and why anyone would care.
Amazing video, and so informative! Thanks.
oh my god just bought one at goodwill for $20 but it didn't come with a probe thingy!!! it's ridiculously cool!!!!
Should plug Time Rift and Electric Starship. I know 8bitguy seemed to honorable to do it on his channel, but think a lot of people wished they knew where you guys were.
That machine looked pristine! Awesome fix!
All you gotta do to build your electronics workshop is have a mechanical workshop first 🥰
While having good tools can certainly make a difference, creativity, practice, and learning are key. Start with what you have, and you'll be surprised at what you can create. This could be made with $25 of tools from harbor freight.
Great video all around. You don't really show all the wooden parts of the cabinet being cut off but gives a good idea. Also, you should post the Amazon links for the parts on the description. Thanks.
Was that a whataburger cup in the background there around 16:00? No shame, just curious as I want to try a Whataburger (California based here)
Now this is craftsmanship! Well done!
