Hi all, my dad appreciates all your comments!

The top view design is based on a tsuba, also known as the guard that fits between the Japanese sword's hilt and blade.

This "guard" on the joystick served me very well and kept me from hitting the side buttons during the heat of battle at NorCal Regionals!

Oh, it does look like a tsuba.
Very cool stuff.

I was previously going to ask if you use those sides to grab onto for carry.

Just finished my NES arcade stick, it was the cheapest case I could come up with.
I managed to mess it up a bit so I fashioned a black bit for the part on the right.
I also used the metal casing inside to mount the joystick.

I've got other photos which i'm gonna put up as a write up, because there clearly aren't enough of those already. :)



Oh yeah, the buttons aren't quite right but I'm not too bothered about that for my first stick.

I have a question though, is there anything wrong with putting the kicks at the top, it seems most arcade sticks have the kicks at the bottom, but playing chun it seems easier to have them at the top.

Well, work has been kicking my arse of late and pair that with allsorts of family mishaps and it's been a bad time time for stick making. This one has been months in the making, but it's finally done and there's 2 more very close to being finished.

It's built for 10 OBSN30's and 1 OBSN24 and is taller than my last stick.

@Br0ken_Engli5h:

I did it myself, kikimaru. I work on a CnC router. This one was a bit of a fucker to get right, though.
