Wow. Looks like they at least have an idea of what the finished product will be. More complete then the Dutch pin TBL already. I don't know the names of these pinball legends (other then popadiuk) but seems like they will get this done. Another old license coming back to life in a new...

So now I have two wood boxes... Best put them together and see what it looks like.

Next was gluing the backbox. The 32" tv is slotted into the backbox so that it holds tight in place. I didn't glue the top piece on yet so that the monitor can slide in and out while I'm still building. I've put two shelves inside the backbox to help keep everything together and better...

Time to glue things together. I fitted everything together again with the glass installed to double check that everything is square and lined up. After the cabinet was glued and dried I re drilled the leg bolt holes and installed corner braces behind the leg mounting plates.

Here's the two upper screens fitted into the bezel for the backbox

I've watched it twice in the theater. 1st time 3d in a big theater, 2nd time at out local cheap theater. I don't mind them inventing a she-elf for a female lead in the story. If you can get past that, or haven't read the book, then you should enjoy this film. There's no singing like the...

With how nice the bop 2.0 software looks, I'm convinced they will have the software side of the build down. I'd assume they follow the wrath of Olympus machine build, and create a virtual table first then make it real. I've also noticed threads on pinside for "what should be included in the...

The tv I bought for the backbox was bought used from a local kijiji add. The add had been online for a couple weeks, posted for $150 or best offer. On a whim I sent an email for $100, and they took it. I went to get the tv, met the couple in their lobby, plugged it in to check that it worked...

The button holes in the side rails were to small, so I drilled them out with a stepper bit untill they were the right size for the buttons that I had. The lower buttons feel good where they are.

I had some time today for woodworking, so I remade the front of the cabinet. Everything is the same, but now the shooter rod is an inch lower. Now it won't hit the tv. Then I put it all together again, but this time with the glass installed. Here's the piece that I put in front of and behind...

With the bottom cabinet almost finished, it was time to look for a tv for the back box. Because this tv isn't that important I decided to go with something cheap. I found a 32" RCA LCD used for $100 form kijiji This tv has a huge bezel so I will be de-casing this one and slotting it into...

While I had the screen installed I was able to mark out the pieces that go in front of, and behind the tv. The front piece will have cabinet instructions on it, and the back piece will get the 5 flasher treatment. These are the last two pieces (I think) for the bottom of the cabinet.

.....and here's my first problem. With the tv left in its case , it's thicker then originally planned. So now the shooter rod hits the back of the case. The easiest way to fix this will be to remake the front of the cabinet and install the shooter rod 1" lower. Ah well... At least it's an...

Now that the tv was cut down to size I grabbed the plunge router to make the channels for the tv to sit in. The inside dimension of the cabinet is 24", and the width of the tv (cut down) is 24 1/4". But the bottom front of the tv has a bulge in the center for the Sony logo. I routed the channels...

I decided against fully de-casing the tv as I started pulling it apart I realized that the screen goes fully to the edge with very little metal frame behind the screen instead of having it around the outer edge like in an LCD. The rear edge was about 1/2" lower then the front and connected to...

I lost power for 10 hrs yesterday. Lost a couple branches in the backyard. But all and all, not bad.

I wonder if ifs going to be Big Juicy Melons?

This blew my mind. I wonder the the history of this machine, to end up in a winners store a week before Christmas. Then I looked at the price and laughed.

Turn your multi meter into a precision tool. I though this might interest some of the repair guys out there. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eev ... ?ref=users

Oooh... I didn't know about these router bits. I'm going to lee valley this weekend. I might have to get one. I like having the right tool for the job and this is way better then a standard miter. I've also thought about a plywood cnc. Do you have any pointers to look for when getting one...
