A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)

drventure:
Thanks, guys. My metalworking isn't near a match for some of the other guys around hear (franco, nudge nudge  ;) ), but it was fun. Never soldered stuff like this before.

However, I can say that without a power nibbler and a brake shear, messing with sheet metal is a right pain in the ass. The frame did come out reasonably nice though. There's a few things I'd have done different if I had better tools available, but, what can ya do  :dunno

Ryglore:
ya sheet metal breaks and power nibblers are awesome... I know how to use our break, but I've yet to use the nibblers.... hmm.

drventure:
I ended up picking up a hand nibbler are Harbor freight to try on some brass I was making a joystick mounting plate out of. It worked, but wow, it was tough on the hands. My fingers were cramping after I finished cutting it.

Ryglore:
Oh ya totally, I've used hand nibblers to cut sheets of aluminum at work... total pain in the hands.  :lol

Just what I want, my computer stinking things up on me!

Dude, I remember reading about that.  I'm pretty sure it was a rumor that sprouted from a joke, or vice versa.

There were specifics in it, though: gunpowder for ammo packs, bread for health packs, etc.

But talk about a niche market... If it was an actual device, it still would be a joke. :lol
