Sidetracked...

Wow, it's been a while. I've been working on a new project: Bella's Arcade and I seem to have lost a little momentum on this one. I do plan on finishing it soon (definitely before Christmas) but there are a few parts I need to buy first as noted in the punchlist below. I can work on it at night for about an hour at a time once I buy the remaining parts.

I'm also considering rebuying the top layer of glass. I ordered it 1/8" thick and it should have been 1/4" thick - kind of a bummer but I want to get this right. Plus, the glass clips are way too big due to the difference in thickness.

Anyway, since I got this thing functional I had a party at the house and the cabinet was a huge hit. Watching everyone get to play and have fun was by far my favorite part of the entire project. One thing I did realize is that I need some type of instruction card and labels on the admin buttons. My guests were constantly asking questions on how to switch between games and insert coins, etc. The trash-talking was great! It was also surprising to me that certain members of my family were really good at some of the games - it's going to take me a while to get their initials off of the high score lists!

I will post comprehensive pics of the 90% complete cabinet later this week and hopefully get back on track.

Thanks for looking!
