Island cabinet that holds 8 machines

So I have been sitting here with so much clutter I can't play my machines and just over all bummed. I have been trying to figure out how to change things here so I can enjoy things better. I started brain storming and realized I have not been in the front room other than to clean moms desk in the last 5 months. I looked at the room and came up with a plan to be able to display all my (vintage) machines ready to play (with room for more) but am trying to think of what to do with stuff. I was looking at the desk wondering what to do with it as it is hard to move yet can't fit out the door and I thought jokingly that I could put pachis on it. after looking I was able to picture something and after thinking about it I sat down with a pen to sketch something out. I made one detailed drawing of how I expected it to be built around each machine and then worked out all my lumber from that. I bought the lumber and cut everything the next morning. It went together great!

Here are pics of building it
