Con: screws are forever buried under laminate, just remove monitor from rear for servicing. --- End quote --- This was pretty much Arroyo's idea. He even mocked it up for me in sketch-up. So I took his idea and kind of sort of inlaid 1/8" hardboard instead of plexi. It will make sense when I post the pics probably tomorrow. |

So... slight delay incoming... 4 stitches and out of commission. I’m so mad. |

---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- dude, was that woodworking? Glad it’s still connected. |

Dang that stinks. I did something similar when I was building my Tron cabinet. |

I don't know how it is possible. I sliced my left hand (2 fingers) with my utility knife but the thing is - I'm left handed. I have no idea how it happened. I was trying to correct a pretty big mistake so I was frustrated and probably should have taken a break. Lots and lots of blood - got a drop on the panel I was working on so that will be a good reminder. After spending the better part of 3 days working on the front panel, I cut the marquee hole out 3/4" lower than I had originally planned. I forgot to take into consideration the 3/4" panel for the control panel that will be resting on top. I wanted a uniform border around the marquee hole but now on top there will be an extra 3/4" throwing the proportions off slightly... maybe. Once I realized my mistake I was so pissed and should have shut it down for the day but I didn't. I immediately started cutting a replacement panel - and I was rushing. However, after sleeping on it, I think my mistake might be OK... I was planning on rounding over the control panel so it wouldn't have been a true 3/4" to the eye and now I'm thinking if I make the CP art cover the roundover in any color other than black, it will look purposeful and the black laminate border around the marquee will be in proportion. I was already thinking of the black and white Asteroids cabaret art so I'll just have to make sure that part of the artwork is white. |
