Thanks guys!

At first glance I thought it may be a case with the original in it. I was surprised to see this was the case! Great idea and nice work. I would like to try this someday, I still love to play the older games.

This is gorgeous. Once my kids are old enough to appreciate retro gaming, I’m planning on building a custom entertainment center to hold all my old systems (pretty much every Nintendo and Sega release from NES through Dreamcast/Gamecube). If you could send me plans for retrofitting all of them for wooden enclosures that’d be great, thanks ;-).

Have you considered making a purpleheart power glove? Instead of transferring the innards you could just stomp on them and set them on fire; it would still work about as well as the original.

That thing is glorious. I actually have an NES taken apart in a box because I was planning to do the same thing years ago, but never got around to it. Your work here is very inspiring, I’ll have to build my wood NES someday too.

How did you do the carvings? They look very clean.

^also interested in how you did the carvings

The engraving was done with a CNC machine actually,took me about 4 test cuts to get it right

Great recycle. Looks so much better than that old plastic box.
