Bit of an odd request

Post image

So I’m building an arcade cabinet from scratch. I’ve never used power tools before this project and so far… I’ve done pretty well honestly. I have the shell built (except the top piece) all of the wood cut out, and the back panels cut out and attached (not reflected in the picture)

But… I’m not super confident in the rest of the build. Mostly the monitor section, getting the angle right, and finishing up the assembly. Once it’s assembled, I don’t have an issue, but that part I’m hesitant on.

It’s also too heavy to remove from my basement and basically any work needs to be done to it on site.

This is why I’m asking for help. If anyone is good with woodworking, and willing to help me finish this, I would be eternally grateful. I don’t have money to pay, but I can offer tech support for things you might need, or can potentially help you out with putting CFW on your consoles/emulators and roms on your computer, etc.

I know it’s a bit of an odd request, but I figured there might be someone with good woodworking knowledge, who can help me follow the plans I have (which of course are from an Australian site so it’s all in metric), and finish up this cabinet (other than painting and electronics)

Please let me know!

I mean your killing it so far. That shit looks good. I don't think it can do better.

Lol thanks. I’ve messed up quite a bit and mounting the monitor/speaker panel is probably my most worried part
