giving up

(since it takes a while to find a cabinet that will suit your needs, and since there's no "competition" you either have to pay the price the person is asking, or go without it). Plus, the cost of shipping can make the conversion a financially bad idea, and even the cost of gas to drive an hour to pick up a cab is not that great of an idea.

Everything your saying is true. However, I don't think anyone has brought "price" or "savings" into the equation yet.

i have changed the design and goal of the project. now its just a mini pinball player with straight clean lines.
I based the design from psychotech's project. it will be far less complicated then his and have alot less style. its just for pinball so very sleek and basic controls.

Yeah, between enjoying working on these things, and being show-offs, most of us are willing to help the locals. ;D

That doesn't work with all saws. My $30 Wal-Mart jigsaw works pretty well freehand, but whenever I tried to use it with any sort of guide the blade jumped its track. It really didn't like that for some reason.

Are you talking about a guide for the blade or a guide for the bracket around the blade?
