Finally!
« on: September 19, 2006, 04:44:23 pm »
I finally have wood! After almost a year of waiting, I have wood! I plan to start manipulating it as soon as possible. My wife is thrilled that I finally have wood! She's been trying to get my wood for some time now.

I can finally start building the cab.

Thanks for reading my rave...

As far as marriage...I'm 14 years in...

The cabinet I'm building is going to be just about an exact copy of the Project Arcade one...a Lusid cabinet I guess. I know its boring...but I really saw no other designs that appealed to me that I could afford.

So far, I have (2) perfect 360's, a luminated Happ trackball, a Ms. Pacman reunion stick, a GGG spinner, a Keywiz Max, a 27" Vision Pro monitor, and various other knick knacks such as buttons...oh yeah..and I have wood!

Gotta go...starting to manipulate my wood now

Quick Tip -

If your wood is not stiff enough you could use metal to brace it in place.

Personally my wood is stiff enough to support a small vehicle so no bracing was required.
