Podiumame

First I took measurements and laid out how I wanted it in QuarkXpress.

Next I made hole guides based on the layout and printed them on sheets of paper, then taped those to the blank metal panel.

I then took the panel to a friend at a machine shop to punch the holes.

Next I designed artwork on top of my Quark layout.

Then I assembled and wired the panel.

We got two eight way sticks per player with six buttons each, a four way stick, a spinner, a trackball and a trigger stick.
