Well most of the progress remains in the prep stages, very exciting to me but admittedly of little interest to anyone else.
Here's a summary-
Rocketsprocket logos are complete... I'll post more pics soon. I can't thank June & family enough!!!!!
Marquee jig plans are complete and materials purchased.
I went to start cutting the jig only to find that the construction we're doing on our house blocked access to my table saw. ARGH. The good side to that however is that I've managed to convince my wife that the garage we're adding (we had none before) should not be used to park cars, but rather should be a dedicated workshop for projects like this. The garage has become critical to this project since I was unable to obtain a space in this years woodworking lab at the local high school (for the second year in a row) *grumble grumble* Without a space to work at home I was relying on the lab for nearly 100% of my project time.
Continued BYOAC art projects have provided nearly all the (non-wood related) hardware requirements for the cab (except the monitor). Recent acquisitions include 2 t-stick plus ball top joysticks, a Happs dual coin door, Happs monitor bezel, a 128MB AVGA card, half a dozen massive round backlit buttons, a half dozen large round backlit buttons, an AMD Athlon 2100, mobo, 512MB RAM, HD, PS, Firewire and USB ports (also to be added to the nav panel). American Demon has become my technology godfather and orcale. You rock! So does Santoro. So do June and Chris.
Artwork for the backlit buttons has been finished.
Also of little interest to those outside the small group of people semi-directly involved in the cab (but worth noting anyway) is that I've arranged for Mission Control baseball hats to be embroidered with the rocketsprocket logo. These are going out to the small group of people personally involved in the project one way or another. So how's that for taking my project waaaaay too seriously! They'll be dark blue with a silver logo.
And for my usual disclaimer about having no time....
Toddler approaching potty training, baby approaching weaning.
Remodel in full swing. Living on top of each other, the kids, two big dogs and the cats.
Busily engaged in:
The new Mame token design.
Krawdad's Goldmine artwork
and my largest artwork commitment to date for a yet to be announced cabinet (I'm working on it Nate!!!)
