Reed Rothchild | 9,523 Editorials Team · Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Finalizing the first one and sizing things out. I had to stop and admire how happy I am with how the Shadowfox cases came out. Obviously these aren't for everyone, but I'm so much more content with them than I was with horrid UGCs and the unwieldy bitboxes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna build the shelving to handle 100 more for the future, but it's a bit of a process to order them, create the artwork, and get it printed right.

I'm gonna build the shelving to handle 100 more for the future, but it's a bit of a process to order them, create the artwork, and get it printed right. That's why I was wondering since I imagine that it would be a lot of work and fairly expensive to get those for every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,523 Editorials Team · Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Shelves are in. Just need to sand, stain, attach the foot to the one end (and screw into the molding on the other), and bracket it into the wall. I had an extra few inches that I just couldn't seem to solve for. So I dispersed them over three of the bottom rows to... I dunno, pile games if I'm desperate. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,735 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Looks good. Looking forward to seeing it when it's done. I also love the game cases. I've been a fan for a long time, and I'm a huge fan of what Shadowfox has done in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for me. Yep, I was being hasty and made it 90% with no issue and tried to shortcut it. Oh well, no more molding for the rest of the project anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,523 Editorials Team · Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 When the shelves are perfectly level, but then you remember it's all a tad too high and you were gonna account for that at the end with sanding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,523 Editorials Team · Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Was actually able to temporarily put in a significant amount of the games meant for the third shelf since I left so much space to future proof my collection. So Genesis, PSP, PS1, etc. I'm a tiny bit worried about the weight of the PlayStation shelves, so I may brainstorm some way to get additional support. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
