Got some time over this holiday to start working with the CNC machine, it's now up and running cutting signs for my buddy's business. I was also able to get the CP cut and will be test fitting all the components this week. I still have to finish the cabinet plans and a few other pieces on the CAM side then I'll be ready to print off a proto type and send up to the great white north for IDS to have his way with ;)

Great job, did you only do this panel or have you cnc'ed other stuff?

I'm guessing it's all bad. Surrey is one of those places that has a really bad rep and once deserved it. There are still some rough pockets but it's much better than it was even 10 years ago.

Legalized abortion and the elimination of leaded gasoline are to thank for that.

X, Assuming a system to keep a center bar in place, a three bar might not still work right. During gameplay what is the longest tangent between stops on the bar? If you tilt the bar enough, the playable field shrinks. That could be enough to influence the gameplay when a player can use the stop as a means to move the ball. Of course that can be done on the older two bar but the distance between each point expands keeping the posts in more or less same position relative to the playfield.
A three bar with sliding stops perhaps?

Yeah, it was. He basically said the only way he'd ever return to Surrey is if he had to go there to save the world from a mythical demon, and even at that, he might just say "screw it" and let the demon win. I think the issue with Surrey wasn't so much the town as it was the experience he had with the comedy club owner there. It's a good chapter called "The Victory Tour" in his book.
