Custom sticks?

[x__gunslinger]

I apologize if this question has been as before, but how does one go about making a custom stick.  I've never made one before and I don't even know where to begin.  Is there a guide somewhere that could teach someone like me (someone with no experience or knowledge whatsoever) to make a custom stick.

Also how much would it cost to make a custom stick?

or am I just better off buying a stick online?


Thanks for the responses.

I dont know howmuch it would cost you to make but there are people out there who do them for about 200+ and they are really good quality too.  I think parts cost is something like 100 or so including shipping.

it depends on what tools you have, obviously with alot of useful power tools the better stix you can make

usually its about 50-60 for buttons/stix. Using this tutorial where you don't have a router http://slagcoin.com/joystick/example3.html its about $30 for wood.
Then you have to primer, sand, then paint (bout $6-10)
and other small supplies i might have missed out on (imma guess $10)
so your looking at around $96.00-$120 to build your own custom. Looking at that you can say that multi's customs are really cheap

that website i posted also has amazing information for knowing about building stix

The sight Twinniss linked is a fantastic resource, very useful for finding well... a lot of useful shit, To buy the arcade parts I'd suggest procuring them from www.lizardlickamusements.com the prices are fair, he ships out fast, and he's very responsive with customers (I tried using ponyboy, I seriously don't like going through him.)
