Nice of you to notice James!
And hope to see you out here again soon Paul.
I'm hoping to do more fun arcade machine activity work for the next month.
And fix my damn pinball machines that I don't understand fully yet. :D
Today I actually got to sand this thing out after a first sealing coat (trying something new- urethane based varnish I guess it is) and was reminded that half of this cabinet is made of what I now refer to as Covidwood.
The only "cabinet" plywood available here through whole mess was this crap stuff made from some Araucaria species that was NOT well sorted before peeling for plys and was NOT sanded to anything past about 40 grit in production.
Either that or the knife they used to roll these sheets was badly pitted and hadn't been sharpened in 30 years. The finish was just awful.
It makes for really irritating finish work on my end and I had forgotten I still had half a sheet of it left.
In retrospect I should've used it for a goat shed.
Or just burned it.
Next phase was reinventing the wheel for cramming a huge tube into an ever smaller space- just in case.
I got a welder recently and thought I might be using it for this but may have come up with a way to hang some steel L bracket without getting sparky.
I would post a pic but can't.
I'm giving up on the photo thing for a bit as now I can't even get anything past the security check either, not matter how small it is or what it is named or what type of file, or...
Rrrr-
