Here is my half assed attempt to make wall mount cabinets for my
precious pachinkos.
More words here!

The escaped convict is
wanted on many counts,
the worst of which is
condoning the use of
Star Wars pachinkos as
winter play things!

Tools I used:
Cheap compound miter saw
$15 drill
$2 hole saw
Electric screwdriver
Rotozip
24" bar clamps

Tools that would make it
allot easier:
Table saw or
Circular saw

Other stuff you'll need:;
Wood
1 5/8" No.__ Screws
Epoxy
Pipe/Tube thing
Scissors or nippers
Tape
Plastic bag

Wood cut list:

2- 46 1/4" 1x10s
3- 20 1/2" 1x10s
3- 20 1/2" 1x6s
1- 20 1/2" 1x3

Tools that you will need for all steps.
(Except #1)

Drill w/ _/_" drill bit
Screw driver or bit for drill

Step 1: Cut the wood

See above.

Here are all the
pieces clamped
together.

* 1x10's are about 9 1/8" - 9 1/4" wide
1x6's 5 1/2" wide
1x3's 2 1/2 " wide

Warning!!! I just noticed that 2 of
my pachinkos are 53cm wide and
not 52cm wide(20 1/2in.)!!!

So measure before you cut all your
wood....oops!

*It is recommended that all holes be pre drilled!*

Step 2: Build It
For this step you will need the two 46 1/4" 1x10
sides, one of the 20 1/2" 1x10s
and two of the 20 1/2" 1x6s.
18 1 5/8" screws
Drill w/ _/_" drill bit
Screw driver or bit for drill

To make drilling and assembly easier I suggest
clamping all five pieces in this step first.

The 1x6 front and back pieces sit on top of the
1x10 piece and are flush with the front and top
of the side 1x10s. (See Picture A)

Once you have all the pieces clamped together
drill holes through the long side piece into the
1x6s (2 on each end of each 1x6) and then
screw together. (See Picture B)

I also put 2 screws in each end of the 1x10
through the long side pieces.

Once you have those 12 screws in place, drill
and screw 6 holes (3 in each side) threw the
bottom of the 1x10 into the edges of the 1x6s.
(See Picture C)

Step 3: Onto the machine it goes
Now it's time to attach the stuff that's done, to the
pachinko.

The first thing to do is to put the pachinko up on
something so that the wood framie thing can fit
over it.

I used the corner of a coffee table that was high
enough to let the frame sit on top of the machine
and not touch the floor.

After lining up the top and sides with the front of
the machine, I put 1 screw through the top to
help keep it in place while I put in the screws on
the sides, 2 on each side. (See Arrows.)

I put the screws on the outside because I'm lazy,
but you can do it from the inside if you want.

The top screw is not necessary if you don't want
to use it. If you have someone helping you hold
it, you may not need it.

I take the top screw out once I'm done with this
step anyway, because after the top ramps are
put on this screw won't be accessible, so if you
ever wanted to get the machine out, you would
have to take the ramps off,etc, etc...

Warning!!!

1. Don't let the machine fall off the table! That
would suck, ask a friend to help!

2. If you are per drilling or screwing toward the
machine, BE CAREFUL not to drill/screw into the
machine!

Super Rad Update :-)

I've found it easier to just pre drill 4 holes, 2 in each side of
the long pieces and start the screws in the holes so that
once I put it up onto the machine and line up the front and
sides, all I need to do is screw in the 4 screws.
This also eliminates the need for the whole top screw thing!

This is where the
shelf goes in the
next step.

Step 4: Da shelf
Once you Have the machine screwed in as
above, now is the time to put in the 1x6 shelf
under the machine. (See arrows and above.)

Just take your 1x6 shelf and shove it up under
the machine and line it up flush with the front of
the machine and the sides of the case.

Now pre drill (recommended) and put in the
screws.

2 screws in each side are enough to keep it in
place.
