I stumbled upon a forum for Arcade Fighting Stick and decided to make one myself.
first was ordering buttons and joystick from China and designing the cover from wood and plexiglass.
finishing it off with metal frame and rubber protectors

Gathering the Supplies ; Wood , Transparant Plastic , Screws , Paint

i first drilled little holes in the glass and wood , then used a special drill to make deeper hole so screwhead is going to sink in.

the same is done with the metal frame
