lexan/polycarbonate is difficult to find in sweden so the whole thing was varnished.
There are no visible plugs or screws joining the box together, a detail I really liked on byrdo's sticks.
The wood is 1.8cm thick and the joystick is mounted from the inside. But I can still get my fingers under the ball.
There is no "real" startbutton because I mostly planned for shmups and metal slug. That's "Fire,Bomb" or "Fire,Jump,Granade" and two smaller buttons for "Select,Start". With only 4 buttons it felt like I wasn't using up all the available space. So "Start" is actually the button in upper right corner.
I enjoyed making this one and would like to make one more. Maybe on my next vaccation
