Yep! whats life without gambling!
So anyways, alot to update you all on:
Got the art cut out of the plexi and have temporarily put it on in some of the pictures below. We ended up using a grinder and a blade with no teeth to cut the plexi and it worked absolutley PERFECTLY. Couldnt have been a cleaner cut and took less then 10 minutes to cut 2 of them.
Secondly, last weekend we stripped off all of the old artwork, found out that it was not originally an NBA JAM, it was a 4 player TMNT. Learn something every day I guess. Most of it was some sort of adhesive and some was paint. In the pictures the spots that arent bare MDF is very light paint that we sanded down and is perfectly smooth, ready to be either painted or covered in more artwork. We used drywall/finishing blades, 10inch and 12 inch to scrape off the old work. Took about an hour but not too bad. Just messy and would only come off in small pieces.
I, along with some help, are currently working on some artwork for the side of this cabinet, my friend that works at the ink company will be printing that artwork on a large piece of adhesive vinyl ....4 inches bigger on each side of the cabinet to leave room for overhang. Actual dimensions will be 72 inches by 40 inches. Artwork is yet to be decided however.
Also in the pics below we installed the keylock. Just drilled the whole and stuck it in there. Used a small bit to put a small groove on the underside of the CP to make the drawer lock.
And STILL WAITING ON MY FREAKING GUN!!!! Cant wait to get it.
