Author Topic: saint's gameroom - what's he up to now? :) (Read 73114 times)

Started another project for my gameroom today! Can you guess what it might be? If someone guesses I'll fess up, if not then no comment until it's done . . . Spent 8 hours on it today.

Whatever could it be?

Whatever it is, I got to use power tools and bought a new laser level to boot!

And just for fun, a couple of pictures of the gameroom...

I also took a short video clip of my gameroom with the lights off if anyone is really interested -- warning, it's like 30 megs.

Is it a lightbox to display a bunch of marquees

Can you guess what it might be?

Could it be a sign of some sort? Maybe it will say Saint's Gameroom?

saint · « **Reply #7 on:** August 20, 2006, 01:40:52 am »

Nope nope and nope

Got the gameroom sign already:

It looks like yo are building some sort of banister or bar, but I thought you already had the latter.

leapinlew · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2006, 02:51:58 am »

a drawbridge to get into the gameroom.

It looks like you need to build a lawnmower

shardian · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2006, 03:08:28 am »

I guess either a booth or bench seat.

My memory is failing me.

Are you building a foosball table, a display case of some sort or a closet?

MYX · « **Reply #12 on:** August 20, 2006, 06:33:21 pm »

Anything to do with something that you wanted and never got the chance to buy?

grantspain · « **Reply #13 on:** August 20, 2006, 06:33:58 pm »

is it a really basic version of alpine racer

saint · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2006, 06:38:53 pm »

Heh, no, but that was really screwy the way that happened. Lady who bought it said she paid 1500, her husband said 2000, Super Auctions folks said they threw the seller out for attitude.

Well, so far it looks like 5 black boards.

Lemme tell ya, nothing screams GAME ON like 5 black boards.

saint · « **Reply #16 on:** August 20, 2006, 07:40:58 pm »

Heh. Chad's the closest so far!... er... but he's not really close.

Cut the triangular pieces today, didn't get them painted though due to rain

RayB · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2006, 08:29:41 pm »

Poker table?

ChadTower · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2006, 09:16:49 pm »

Well he's almost done with his big black seesaw.

MYX · « **Reply #19 on:** August 20, 2006, 09:35:02 pm »

Ok, you were intrigued by McCoys Ohio state indirect light idea and you are going to put a strip all the way around the room about 1 in. off the wall. Then you will put rope lights, LEDs or new some alien technology that will put a cool looking glow down the walls without any visible direct light.

saint · « **Reply #20 on:** August 20, 2006, 09:55:13 pm »

You are close but not quite right!

DrewKaree · « **Reply #23 on:** August 20, 2006, 11:50:20 pm »

A lightbox to go around the room for regular lighting - upwards-shining.

A shelf for display purposes around the room.

Harry Potter · « **Reply #24 on:** August 21, 2006, 12:05:59 am »

It's a guided missile silo to keep all the people away from your shiny gameroom.

Bones · « **Reply #25 on:** August 21, 2006, 12:07:55 am »

Model rocketry display case or some type of pornography display stand.

mccoy178 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 21, 2006, 04:29:49 am »

Did I hear my name mentioned? Are you building a dual screen cabinet with blinky controls and puts off indirect lighting? That is too cool!

Magnet_Eye · « **Reply #27 on:** August 21, 2006, 04:57:27 am »

It's obviously going to be a POG machine. duh!

but really, how about a hint? Is it going to be a game, a fixture, or what?

rlemmon · « **Reply #28 on:** August 21, 2006, 06:54:11 am »

A lighted highscore board

NIVO · « **Reply #29 on:** August 21, 2006, 08:14:15 am »

S & M torture rack with faux leather styling, accented with various chains and whips?

Dude!!! That is just wrong!
He will use real leather.

NinjaEpisode · « **Reply #31 on:** August 21, 2006, 10:52:00 am »

Sounds like recessed lighting boxes. Be a great way to alternate between blacklights and normal lighting around the perimeter of the room.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #33 on:** August 21, 2006, 11:16:23 am »

maybe he's bulding shelves for all his trophies he buys everytime he gets high score

Man, that's a great idea! Porno display stand. Outstanding!

missioncontrol · « **Reply #35 on:** August 21, 2006, 01:05:21 pm »

See the words "even for"? No wonder you're confused. RIF must not have come to your area
