Pixelhugger:
And here's how the whole thing will look (in it's raw form) when glued. To take this pic, I held the trim bent into place with my highly dextrous chimp like feet... not shown.

The walnut will look much richer and softer when finished. I may stain it to get it a bit darker, or maybe just oil and wax it. Regardless, in person it looks much better than these pics show... even my wife said "wow.. honey that's nice wood." :o Which of course made me laugh so hard I almost dropped the panel as she kept saying "What?... What?"

DrewKaree:
Shoulda told her:

"You bring out the best in me honey!"

"You should see it in the morning!"

"What, you thought that was just a roll of quarters in my pocket?"

nostrebor:
Wow Pixel.

That's some nice wood!

You knew this one was coming going to occur ;D

I just went back to the first post on this thread.

Mission Control Project Thread!
When this thread was started:

* Mame was still in the .70's (.72?)
* We still thought there were WMD's in Iraq.
* You could advertise a MAME cab on Ebay without getting sued.
* HDTV was still in it's first year of availability and HDTV sets cost over $10k
Ahh.. the days of yester year when projects only seemed to take a few months. :D

What else has happened since

Pixelhugger:
Hehe. *switches to Homer voice* It's funny because it's true.

I'm currently up at my family's house working in my dad's shop trying my best to finish this beast before too many more milestones are passed. Depending on how the rest of the evening goes (finally cutting out the sides), I should have pics of the finished sides later tonight.

I got my CP and illuminated button artwork from Mamemarquees and was hoping to have pics of the finished CP ready for tonight as well. In fact, I was hoping to launch the website this weekend. But the sides have been the typical unexpected amount of work so I'm behind on all that. Cool things are happening though! I have been absolutely blown away by the quality of mamemarquees printing. The CP and buttons are gonna look unbelievable. Scott at mamemarquees sleep deprived himself splitting hairs on color calibration and the results are stunning. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended. More on all that later.
