Had to pop in and say congrats, that is one beautiful machine. :cheers:

Got me seriously thinking about doing another wood cabinet now..hmm

I'm popping in as well! I can't believe it, I never thought I would see the finished result :cheers: That video was effin' hilarious! Serious dedication and unbelievable craftsmanship!

It was nice of you to thank everyone on here, and glad that everyone was able to keep you motivated to finish - even if there was a lot of :laugh2: about it not getting done! But you did it. So cool that your kids can play this now, and be able to see the entire history of the project and how much work you put into it.

Now, I just hope I will get the time and $$ to get my project off the ground :angry:

I picked some things I thought were funny in the thread from the years past:

Jan. 9, 2004

"Man, oh man, do I ever want to see the final incarnation."
"You and me both! Hopefully it won't be long. Construction begins on Jan 28th" (2004)

Oh, the beginning..

"Then there's work, the remodel at home, and the new baby coming in June. AAAAARGH. Never enough time!"

I still say it was your other "side" projects slowed you down - books, videos, wait.. was there really a Mission Control movie script?

April 12, 2005
"There seems to be some misconception that the project is currently on hold. That has never been further from the truth."

Hold, slowed, delayed, whatever - it's done!

March 3, 2006
"Would anyone else be interested in a commemortative abridged hard copy of this ridiculously self serving thread?"

Did this happen btw?? :) If I wasn't worried about wasting paper, I'd print one of these myself.. perhaps a pdf?!

Nov. 11, 2006
"Well for what it's worth, I am still so addicted to the project that I'm currently checking this thread from a hotel lobby in Central America."

Dedication.. love it.

March 5, 2007
"It's crunch time now since we're hoping to have another baby this year or early next, before which point the project has to be completely finished."

...only slightly off the mark.

I plan on pulling out all the stops for the unveiling. Just. You. Wait. Evil Again, if following the thread itself is boring you, don't bother. You'll know it's close when you see the HD trailer on the front page.

Predicting the future.. love it!

October 25, 2009
"Three years later I'm still inching forward on the original project and am already thinking the next project may not be a cab at all after seeing Ben Heck's hand held 2600 and ColecoVision projects."

Any word on the "next project"? :)

Mar. 18, 2010
"I've lived so long with the images in my 3D app and the renders in Photoshop, it's surreal to see the actual thing looming up in front of me."

And just think, it was only 1 1/2 years later, it was done!

Thanks for the enjoyment of following this thread through the years.. it was so great to see it finished!

Pixelhugger:
Awesome post. Just awesome. :cheers:

Little did I know at the time that turned out to be 2 babies simultaneously, and the project was only chronolocially about 1/2 done.
