Maybe we should call this one "I Need an Intervention"

SOoooo.....

I have been excited about building something that wasn't emulation.

Apparently I'm taking baby steps.

Somehow got lucky enough to be in on a recent batch of Jrok Multi-Williams boards and since I still can't stop playing Stargate (even though I REALLY suck at it) I figured a dedicated machine (which actually existed in the wild?!) was a must.

If for no other reason than I can actually have something to play while I continue to fight with software on
EVERY
OTHER
MACHINE
I
HAVE
BUILT
(except the 60 in 1 bartop- but that REALLY doesn't count.)

Anyway, I built a bench unit of the Jrok a few weeks ago to make sure I could actually get it to work and I was excited to see that I wasn't completely incompetent-

So here we go!

Was proud of myself that I cut every panel necessary for this thing (including the bevels to accommodate proper mating- and slot routing for t-moulding too) in 4 hours.
Of course that doesn't count the hour I spent making a template weeks ago (how long does this take normal people?!) or the time I spent with graph paper, a pencil, bevel square, protractor, a profile silhouette of a Defender off the internets and a calculator to make something that would fit into the knee-wall dimensions of the arcade loft reasonably-

Yeesh.

And so- why not gang cut if you have a wormdrive saw with a lot of mass to it?!
Certainly saves time-

Just leave the things clamped together after, and a light sand and routing takes less time and yields an adequate result.

And after I ripped a third sheet into 25" wide chunks so I could make all the other bits...

And now that it is 9:30 pm out here in the middle of nowhere... wp34 has unwittingly encouraged me to mix a proper MaiTai :D and see if the primer I have a bucket of still will work on wood too.

Anybody know where one could still buy a stencil kit for a full size upright Defender style Multi-Williams?!
:)

I skipped the MaiTai and went straight to priming-

Glad I dug around in the paint can pile because I had forgotten that I still had some quick dry alkyd primer from doing the fascia on the house.

Of course I was trying to not kill more brain cells and was a good boy and painted them outside and then it starting sprinkling on my work so had to move it all into the shop.

At least this weekend I should be able to make the speaker, vent and coin door hole decisions and paint and assemble this one.

Thus guy has stencils, but he is really slow.

You will need to send him an email and ask when and if he will have what you want.

Mike A:
Nice work.

Your path to the dark side is almost complete.
