Thanks drventure.. yeah I agree that the build is half the fun, plus building this machine from scratch is allowing me to make things exactly like I want them. It was just a shock to see 2 complete machines for sale considerably cheaper than what I've spent so far on a machine that can't even stand up on its own yet.. haha. By the way, I've been following your build for a while now and I can't wait to see how it turns out... very cool concept for a cab. Great idea with the lights with letters in them. |

All though this build is not what i would own my self, it is just so dammed good. I Think like most things today to build it your self is more expansive but hell when you finished you feel more proud about what you have achived then just buying a pre built system. I bet no ones put as much effort or soul into it as much as you ... Think of it that way .. Keep up the good work and well done. Love it. |

Thanks for the kind words mayhem! I wanted to get more done tonight, but I got home later than usual so I only had about an hour of cutting time. I was able to get the top part of the ramp cut exactly to size (yesterday I left it a bit long because I wasn't sure how far the hop ramp would go) and I got to see what the slope looks like attached to the ramp. I threw a tennis ball down the ramp a bunch of times to test it out, and it plays great. I also cut a little edge molding to put at the base of the ramp where it starts. All in all, not much progress but it is nice to start seeing this thing take shape. I should have around 4 hours to work on it tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get the ramp legs and hop ramp attached, and maybe the scoring area started. |

Progress looks real good so far. Good cuts and measurements. Have you rolled some skeeballs on the white rolling ramp yet to see how it will take the abuse of balls being rolled/thrown on it? You would not want the rolling surface to break or become dented up due to the balls slamming into it. MIght be the perfect time to test this out for real before you decide to put it all together. |

Looks great! Nice and clean. Are you going to be putting a ball return on? If so, with the legs on the outside of the ramp, will they be in the way? |
