Woodshop Flunky:
What is the ultimate fate of our custom made arcade machines?

A member here wrote something that got me thinking.

Some of us have spent a LOT of time, effort, and money building custom arcade machines.  In my case, I love the arcade machine I built.  It sits in a small nook at the head of our hall, and it's always noticed when we have friends over.

But... How long is this thing going to "live"?

I never really gave any thought to the end of line when I was building it.  Is there a day somewhere in the future when it's going to be sitting out on the front lawn with a big "FREE" sign attached?

Maybe I'll end up giving it away.  Maybe I should write a users manual for whoever ends up with the thing... just in case its life exceeds my own.

I'm more inclined to think one of my grandkids will discover it under a tarp in the back of some future shop.

Of course, my son may continue to love it.  Then he can decide what happens to it. :)

My 10 year old daughter has claimed dibs on my machines. In fact, they're "her's" already.  :cheers:

As strange as I find it, my wife treats ours like some sort of family heirlooms.  In fact, when we bought a skeeball machine she insisted that we buy a second so that we could leave one to each of our kids.
