My sticks

I have finally finished my sticks.

Left one is all Seimitsu, Right one all Sanwa parts (thanks to akihabarashop for the parts, great service!). Both sticks use Mad Catz xbox360 PCB. The cases are teak.

Couple of photos from the process: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36285721@N07/sets/72157615153159734/

Now I can finally play Street Fighter 4! :slight_smile:

two box lids

Not perfect but the best I have done so far. I took the lids of two boxes from Michaelā€™s, glued some MDF to top and bottom to make it sturdier, hinged them together, stained the box a walnut color, 3 coats of gloss. The brackets on the side are to make the box straighter because they werenā€™t exactly identical. I wonā€™t attempt another until I have the needed tools.

Wow lemonade, those sticks are super nice. I love the wood choice and color!

87

After two weeks of Spain I finaly got the time to finish my stick, here are some details:

  • Stick is a Sanwa Jlf, added the spring from the stock stick for some more tention.
  • Black meshball top.
  • Buttons are all Sanwa OBSF (30mm)
  • Art is from Tobiee, with a little touch of my own. (Made it a bit more black and white and added my GT in the top right.)
  • Art is printed by Dekalu on adhesive vinyl, did cost something, but its worth it!

Hope you all like it, here are some pictures of the result:

Souji5, lemonade, ecKsniNe, 028, speedsix, Datterboy, Networkingyuppy, fwirth, Silverwind, Cleetus and nupoeā€¦

Awesome sticks, guys! Itā€™s refreshing to see original works. As an owner of a modded TE, I think Iā€™m going to puke if I see another SE or TE mod again.

Canā€™t wait to start work on my Padauk stick. Been too long since I made a stick. Damn TE!

89

I love the choice of wood color, artwork and buttons, they all flow together very nicely.

Awesome lemondade. Kinds of reminds me of what this guy did, but yours are much cleaner.

just got my shipment from arthong :slight_smile:
really great stuff highly recommended.
here is my TE stick, i know this artwork is cliche but man its a classic :slight_smile:

back into the original box!

i was contemplating if i should have the 7 button format but i have no idea what that 7th button is for =T maybe someone will enlighten me :wonder:

92

you can setup the 7th button for a focus attacks on sf4ā€¦helps if you donā€™t want to press mp+mk during a combo or whatever.

93

Thank you for the compliments, nice to see someone else got the same idea as I did!

However, the sticks on that link were a LOT cleaner from the inside than mine. There was a reason I didnā€™t post pictures of my sticks insides on the first post :wink:

This is how the insides look:

ā€¦I have to defend myself by saying that these were my first sticks. Also, this project was unfinished for so long that I just put the insides together today in a rush. I still have parts for one stick, when I have time to make it, I will try to do the insides more manageable.

94

good job 4 first sticks. The wiring is pretty clean to me. Dont worry about that other guy. He doesnt mind one bit.

95

thats cheating :annoy: lol
thanks for enlightening me though :slight_smile:

Pretty standard, hopefully gonna get some artwork sometime soon. For some reason my HK and all 3 kick buttons has stopped working, but for some reason when I turn turbo on for them the buttons showing itā€™s on in the top left for the individual buttons lights up. Anyone have any idea?
