Spongebob Imagination Station *** TOO Long - DONE!!! (Sorta)

<< < (2/9) > >>

Dervacumen:
After I pressed on the painted logo, I went back over it with a brush to touch it up.  It made a big difference.  Since the panel will be about 2 /12 feet way I took a photo from the same distance.  Works for me.
I'll next staple the corners and cover the staples with fake plastic pink jewels I have laying around from an old craft project.
All said the logo transfer part took about 10 minutes.

DaOld Man:
I like this idea. Reminds me of the years gone by when I "had" to watch spongebob with my daughter. Those were the days!
I agree with GoingIncognito, great artwork!

Roo:
Looking good!

And thank you for posting the detailed pics of the speaker panel!  I am in the middle of trying to figure out my speaker panel, and your pics are very helpful.

drventure:
Very nice. The princess speaker panel esp.

Can't let my daughter see this. I'd have another project on my hands  :)

 But she's already helping with the Arqadium, so that ok!

Dervacumen:
So when I cut my first hole for the coin door, I measured 4 times and was getting ready to mark with pencil, fasten the clamps, and cut.  But wait!  I turned around to answer a question and the cord must have been laying around the wood so it knocked it off the work surface.  So I hastily put it back on, remeasured everything, clamped, cut, and presto!  The coin door fit great.  Just sideways and therefore not centered along the vertical axis. :banghead:
I guess I turned the wood 90 degrees when I lifted it back to place.  And yes, I had prominently written "TOP FRONT" and BOTTOM FRONT" in the appropriate places on the wood.  Just felt like ignoring them at the time, I guess.
So I cut another piece and made the right cuts with a jigsaw and router.

You can see in the pics some of the work I had to do with a hacksaw to get my "1/2 coin door" looking like a respectable access door.  That was fun.  No really, it was.  After the coin door mishap, doing a little damage was a welcome diversion.  I love doing damage, and nothing says damage like laying in to a piece of metal with a dremel, sandpaper, two files, two hacksaw blades and coming out a winner. ;D
