    Red face So...How do you hide your 'feet'?

    For those of you fortunate (and crafty) enough to create pachinko cabinets (luckies!) this really wont pertain to you.

    However for the rest of us 'common folk' , How do you hide (it at all) your pachinko feet?

    I noticed many sand and stain them which makes it look better.

    For me, I went straight to Lowe's and bought the rough wood and had it cut to aproximate length. Split ends and all. Then I hastily had them attached to my machines (through metal frame) which didnt want to make me "un-do" it to sand-down and stain the feet.

    Although a little 'vegas' looking (as are the machines) this was the 'fairly cheap & doable by me' option. I bought sparkly foam pads (sold in paper sized sheets) that matched colors on my games. I measured, cut it & stapled that into the wood. I then used furniture pads underneath so the staples wouldn't scratch anything! I realize not all will like how this looks, but I am pretty proud. I guess you could say my 'feet' have socks!

    Here are the results...(Someday Apple will have to help interface or train me how not to take or upload them sideways)

    Now onto the conversation piece...

    How do you all hide your 'feet'? Do you let 'em show?

    with mine, I have most towards back of machine, 3 inches show in front, 6 inches show in back, 3 under machine, 12 inches total, some stained, some sanded, some just added as is, anyone playing isn't looking at support once machine is turned on, and if you have a tray, it kinda hides feet

    I think they look great. Those of us with cabinets have the same problem..........To paint matching colors or stain. I have gone with the matching colors. Play on!
