    Quoted from Pinwiz1985:

    Just moved into a new house with a massive basement. Finished building a custom 12ft bar made out of pine and pallet board planks. Scored all the lumber and bar stools for $500! Embryon is still going strong! Will be getting a Bally X's and O's soon from a my friend to keep in the basement when the guys and gals come over to hang. Plenty of room for wine and beer storage, and dispensary equipment. kegerator photo is a bit old, but got a Chocolate Imperial Stout on tap, Hard cider at 5.8%, and more of the Bourbon barrel porter, but one batch is juiced up at 12% versus the session 8% version you see in the pic. The new brew kettle is 30 gallons big.
    Got a bunch of plans for LED lighting, liquor shelving, a 4 tap jockey box with a Homer Simpson logo theme on it, and an arduino powered custom liquor dispenser in a black pipe style tap. It will be similar to the 'Sidebar Beverage" setup, but at like a fraction of the cost once I get the parts together. I got an example of the pipe setup minus the bottle on top.
    All exciting stuff!

    I'm a big fan of Willet bourbon. I didn't realize there was an associated beer.

    They do take up space, but during parties, mine gets played as much as anything else,
    and in the earlier days being on leagues, I still have pool playing Buddies. I need to keep
    mine set up.. (T)

    Wouldn't be a game room without a pool table. You want more pins? Get a bigger room.

    Pool is probably the most played game - aside from the Pac Man Battle Royale.

    My basement is only 12.5 -13' ft wide on each side. I'd love a table but really need 14' to make comfortable shots. Next house I guess,.

    Custom-made wall switch plates. Got the idea from someone who sells similar stuff on Ebay, but not 3-gang. So I made my own. Upstairs and downstairs. Used a 30 watt etching laser to cut the 1/4", 1/8" and 1/16" sheets of plastic and the holes for the arcade buttons. Then, hack-sawed the switch buttons and mounting nuts to a minimum height, drilled a cotter pin hole to keep them in the button frame, and played with various plastic fillers until the spacing was just right. They contact the actual paddle switches in the box, and all I needed to do was replace the trim with this contraption. Works great and looks like is should be there.

    You should be selling those! Look great! Can you post pics of the back side and post an eBay link?

    Here are a few pics of the procedure to make the outer plate.
    20170120_063040 (resized).jpg20170120_063040 (resized).jpg
    Remove the button center and cut down to this level:
    20170120_062358 (resized).jpg20170120_062358 (resized).jpg
    Cut the outer housing short:
    20170120_063314 (resized).jpg20170120_063314 (resized).jpg
    Drill the buttons with a 1/16" drill
    20170120_064702 (resized).jpg20170120_064702 (resized).jpg
    Grind down the hex nut to make it shallow:
    20170120_063521 (resized).jpg20170120_063521 (resized).jpg
    All parts are shortened and ready for assembly:
    20170120_071024 (resized).jpg20170120_071024 (resized).jpg
    Insert into panel, and install cotter pins:
    20170120_071656 (resized).jpg20170120_071656 (resized).jpg

    It gets a bit more complicated, but this gives you a general idea.

    That is quite the mod. I love it. Others will make these I'm sure.

    This was my arcade a few years ago. Now all that remains is theatre. It will come again, but the first arcade will be missed. Anxiously planning the next one...

    A little more like a corner than game room, but non the less heaven.

    Yep! It's the side of an atari star wars. My buddy had the cabinet and most of it was damaged and he was going to junk it, so I saved the side with the initial intent to just hang it up but I coated it with triple thick and mounted it to half of an old bar table we had.

    Hey IKEA has some very nice RGB led strips to light up your stairs if your interested. Here's what they look like on my stairs. They come in 4 sections per package with a controller and power supply. I needed 3 packages.

    In our last house I screwed a 12ft 2x4 to the wall and screwed a 12' 2x10 centered to the 2x4 and created a hidden channel. Ran a 10ft rope light and wired it in. Sanded and stained to create a nice glow down the stairs. If staircase was wider I would have done both sides.

    That sounds cool and it's a lot more sturdy of a hand rail too. Did you have enough width to move games up and down without hitting the hand rail? I've only got a 34 inch width to work with.

    We had a 36" stairwell. Lost 3" with the 2x4s. You could route/plane out the back of the 2x10 so the 2x4 is sunken to save a 1" or so. Max you'd lose is 3"

    I'd box that beam on the right side of your stairs with 2 or 3 2x4s. Use that as your anchor and attach up by the opening where it looks like it's finished. You can leave space to run electrical for a 3 or 4 way switch and turn lights off upstairs or down. We used 2 3 ways. One to control the leds and one to light recessed lighting above stairs. On the wood instead of staining maybe get some blacklight paint and trip it out to match your decor.

    Quoted from grantopia:

    I am very interested! Time to check amazon...my wife thanks you in advance for the idea lol.

    Here's what the controller and one of the strips look like so you can make sure your getting the right ones. The controller is high quality so they fade between colors beautifully, not like the cheap little controllers you get when you buy other kits, their fade effects are horrible. Don't know if Amazon would have these Ikea ones.

    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    I'd box that beam on the right side of your stairs with 2 or 3 2x4s. Use that as your anchor and attach up by the opening where it looks like it's finished. You can leave space to run electrical for a 3 or 4 way switch and turn lights off upstairs or down. We used 2 3 ways. One to control the leds and one to light recessed lighting above stairs. On the wood instead of staining maybe get some blacklight paint and trip it out to match your decor.

    Yeah I have to figure out something cuz that wall only goes part way down.

    Look at it this way. A handrail will just be one more location for you to put a strip of LED's!!!

    As for attaching, you have a post at the bottom of the steps, so you should be able to figure out some type of bracket that would attach there. Someone more mechanically minded than me could help you out I'm sure.

    What you talkin bout Wilson??? I don't know anything about lde strips. I already have some designs rolling around inside my head.

    I would put it on the right side as your looking down the stairs because I have a little bit more space on that side the way the door and frame are mounted. I'll probable make the hand railing part removable for hauling games up and down.

    They are spendy but worth it. I have 11 steps so on the top step I put 2. How many steps do you have? Looks like 9.

    Only 1 pin and a few other games. Nothing like the amazing rooms I've seen on here.

    If I had that much space I'd be in trouble game wise. Looks like the room is 50 ft long.

    lol. Yea I hold games every month.

    Just getting back into playing pinball now - first time owner. Guys don't know I got GB yet but I don't think too many are into pinball anyway.

    Considering selling the shuffleboard to make room for some more pins down the road.

    Some of the rooms I've seen on here are amazingly packed with games and finished off beautifully - I can only wish.
