I realized quickly he wasn\u2019t like everyone else I had spoken to about making a custom arcade. Vinh specializes in CNC but he can do all kinds of custom projects for you! The part that\u2019s underrated about Vinh is this isn\u2019t his full-time job. This<span class=\"glsr-hidden\"> is a side hustle and passion. He wants you to enjoy the project he completes for you and doesn\u2019t want to give you a cookie cutter experience where it\u2019s just a transaction. He\u2019s relational, he puts the same amount of effort, energy and time into your build as he would his own. I thought I was buying a product (Table top Arcade) but it honestly felt more like a tailor made service! If you\u2019re on the fence about using MakerCade Customs or working with Vinh, take my word for it\u2026 DO IT!!! You won\u2019t regret it and like me you\u2019ll end up feeling like you owe him more than what you paid. I will be having another one made by Vinh because this was such an awesome experience! Thank for the service, the product and ultimately making a new friend! Vinh has my contact info and will absolutely share it if you need more feedback or advice on the process from a customer! Very happy, very thankful and never been more at peace with a purchase than this one!<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"glsr-review-author\"><span class=\"glsr-tag-value\">Adam Cokonougher<\/span><\/div> <div class=\"glsr-review-verified\"><svg style=\"pointer-events: none;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M10 2a8 8 0 1 1 0 16 8 8 0 1 1 0-16zm3.855 3.34l-5.14 5.93-2.57-2.4-1.34 1.25 3.24 4.54h1.34l5.81-8.38-1.34-.94z\"\/><\/svg> <span>Verified<\/span><\/div> \n    \n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"shortcode-site-review\"><div class=\"full-width glsr glsr-default single-review\" id=\"glsr_kvmwu9gd\" data-from=\"shortcode\" data-shortcode=\"site_review\" data-post_id=\"1309\"><div class=\"glsr-reviews-wrap\">\n    <div class=\"glsr-reviews\">\n        <div class=\"glsr-review\" data-id=\"1309\" data-type=\"local\" data-verified=\"1\" id=\"review-1309\" data-assigned='{\"assigned_terms\":[43]}'>\n    <div class=\"glsr-review-title\"><h4 class=\"glsr-tag-value\">CNC excellence!<\/h4><\/div>\n    <div class=\"glsr-review-rating\"><div class=\"glsr-star-rating glsr-stars\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Rated 5 out of 5 stars\" data-rating=\"5\" data-reviews=\"0\"><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-full\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-full\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-full\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-full\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"glsr-star glsr-star-full\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><\/div> <div class=\"glsr-review-date\"><span class=\"glsr-tag-value\">January 5, 2026<\/span><\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"glsr-review-content\"><div class=\"glsr-tag-value\" data-expanded=\"false\"><p class=\"glsr-hidden-text\" data-show-less=\"Show less\" data-show-more=\"Show more\" data-trigger=\"expand\">I worked with Vinh to build the arcade cabinet of my dreams.

Introducing MakerCade Customs LLC, where I blend my passion for retro arcade games with my skills in custom design and craftsmanship. Growing up, I was captivated by the vibrant colors, pixelated graphics, and engaging gameplay of classic arcade machines. Those formative experiences laid the groundwork for my journey into the world of custom arcade cabinets.<br><br>At MakerCade Customs LLC, I specialize in creating arcade machines that bring the nostalgia of the past into the current day. My mission is to provide fellow enthusiasts with a piece of art that not only serves as a gaming console but also as a stunning focal point for any space. Each project I undertake is an opportunity to transform an idea into a tangible reality, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal.<br><br>My journey into custom arcade design began in 2023 when I wanted to build my very own retro arcade gaming system. As a Software Developer\/Engineer and a Raspberry Pi hobbyist the electronics and software came easy to me. It was the woodworking that was a challenge. I quickly discovered that outsourcing the wood working was very costly. I then immersed myself in learning how to design, program, and operate a CNC machine gradually honing my skills and expanding my creative toolbox.<br><br>Since launching MakerCade Customs LLC, I have had the privilege of working with clients from all walks of life. Whether it\u2019s crafting a one-of-a-kind cabinet for a family game room or collaborating with a client to create a unique gift for a loved one, each project is a testament to my commitment to quality and creativity. I take pride in the craftsmanship that goes into every piece.<br>In addition to custom cabinets, I also have a passion for custom engraving, lasering, and 3D-Printing &amp; Design. I believe that anyone can create something beautiful and functional, and I find great joy in helping others bring their visions to life.<br><br>As I continue to grow MakerCade Customs LLC, I remain dedicated to innovation and excellence in my craft. I\u2019m always on the lookout for new trends and technologies that can enhance the gaming experience, whether it\u2019s integrating modern software into classic designs or experimenting with new materials and finishes.<br><br>Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and my work at MakerCade Customs LLC. I\u2019m excited to connect with fellow enthusiasts and help them embark on their own nostalgic gaming journeys!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grid-md-6 about-grid\"><div class=\"gutentor-single-item-image-box\"><div class=\"gutentor-image-thumb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal-image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/owner.png\" alt=\"\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_glsr_average":0,"_glsr_ranking":0,"_glsr_reviews":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-75","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1420,"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75\/revisions\/1420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makercadecustoms.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
