Eesh... took quite a few side projects on before getting back to this. The storage side of my basement was absolutely full. I spent 3 weeks unloading it and giving stuff away. I hadn't really used Facebook marketplace before so I used it to give away a lot of stuff. I thought not being anonymous would help with the tire-kickers but I'll be damned if you still don't have a ton of folks asking "Is it still available?" and after you reply, they go radio silent. I also had a couple no-shows, which surprised me.
I recently got back into competitive foosball. I don't necessarily look for side hustles, but when one comes up I have a hard time not going for it. I found a Tornado foosball table for $100. I stripped it down, sold off some of the parts to make my money back, put some upgrades on my table, and created a wall mounted plaque that I'm going to get some pro plays signature on.
Stripped down and one of the few things I couldn't give away for free on Facebook or Craigslist.
This is the plaque made from a playfield.
This is a bunch of bouncy balls secured to a stick. I call it the eye-stick. You use it to practice shooting and it returns the ball quickly. It functions to return the ball but it also allows you to practice trapping and holding the ball.
Point is, I've been easily distracted and this build hasn't been my favorite. I'm definitely not retro gaming like I used to, but I hate having unfinished projects, so I'm going to soldier on.
