Oh cool fiber trim in a basement that isn't going to be a poo poo Noodle becsuse of humidity. Edit up to a third trim material just pulled a section of plastic trim off tater_salad fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Jul 3, 2020 |

Those are both amazing! Not having a workshop during this... let's euphemize it as "downtime" really makes me appreciate everyone else's work

Yay, love Mame builds! Since I don't have the garage space in my current rental currently (and can't coat everything in sawdust again) to build a full cabinet, I opted for some very cheaply made controllers - 1 for me and 1 each for the kids to plug into my computer and away we go. Behold the LunchMame! If anything goes wrong just unclip the lid and take a look! (Internals from AliExpress, lunchbox from Kmart)

lunch boxes are also fantastic for it focusattack and paradise arcade for parts, FA is in PA and Paradise is in Hawaii for shipping reasons if you have any questions post in the Fighting Games thread in games, I've made every mistake 50 times and will share all my pain and theres a bunch of others who still carry water for the days of old arcades

Enthusiasts compile new roms and post them on TecmoBowl.org. I recommend Goji’s roms as he updates the rosters and releases a new version every week through the season. https://tecmobowl.org/files/file/606-gojis-nfl-tecmo-super-bowl-liv/

I had some walnut left over from a project so I made a Japanese style tool box to hold my hand tools. https://www.woodcraft.com/blog_entries/making-a-traditional-japanese-toolbox I used these plans, I changed them up slightly. The maple lock piece is held in place with magnets. I was going to dovetail it but I cut and glued everything before I remembered that I had planned on doing it. Plywood/poplar shelf to hold some of the smaller tools.

Built myself a mobile assembly/outfeed table. I watched a bunch of videos then designed it from scratch to fit my needs. I really need to learn how to build drawers better. Haven't quite figured out the secret sauce to making everything perfectly square, but after a little shimming they work well, but a bit more trial and error than I would have liked. The slot on the left holds my table saw/router jigs which took a bit of thought to design efficiently. Drawers on both sides, and somewhat of a bench dog setup with the vise and T-Track. Vise handle was handmade on the lathe as my first time ever using a lathe. Finished with Arm-R-Seal.

No, the space is still open. I just don't feel comfortable going in because people can't be trusted. I mean the world at large, not just the people I'd be sharing the space with. I might give it a shot if I didn't have to help out my elderly parents with general life stuff on occasion. It's too much to risk just to indulge my sawdust fetish.

I posted about getting a Kelly hatchet off eBay in the Blacksmithing thread with some questions. The plan is to clean it, polish it, get the edge professionally sharpened, buff it and get someone who knows what they're doing to hang it on a new handle. Long-term it is going to be a little camping hatchet/tool. I don't expect YouTube restorer perfection, but it will be nice to have something I've done on-hand. It arrived on Monday, there were good and bad parts about it. 1. Although I'm not keeping it, whoever hung it on the current handle did not use a hatchet/axe handle and it doesn't fill the entire eye. The head is loose af, so I'm not even willing to try a few practice swings. 2. The edge appears to have been ground on an angle, so it gently curves now, rather than being straight, and the top edge starts about 1.5cm or more behind (closer to the poll) the bottom. I'm not going to be able to reshape it straight as there's not enough head, it only being a hatchet, and there's a notch for something in the bottom edge (I think it's a carpentry thing for pulling nails, maybe)? 3. Other damage is less than expected, specifically the mushrooming of the poll wasn't as bad as first thought. 4. I think the PO tried to use a grinder to sharpen it, leaving some weird bevelled sections near the edge, and probably what contributed to the shape in #2 when they've hosed the pooch, but there's enough meat in the cheek/face to smooth it out and make it look normal again. One of my housemates is an incredibly crafty type who has a whole range of ridiculous skills and experience doing things. I managed to find a metal bastard file with no handle in her toolbox of tricks, and a vice without anything through the hole in the winder. I used the tail of the file to tighten the vice to hold the handle of the axe so I could work on it. About 30-45 minutes with the bastard file and I've managed to remove the mushrooming. I'm now working on cleaning up the very top and the poll to make them square/straight. I ordered a M14 threaded drill bit adaptor for a 6 inch angle grinder hook and loop backing pad and a bunch of various grit wet and dry sheets. I ordered from eBay and won't expect them until late this month unfortunately. If I'm right, I should be able to do all the rest with this file, the drill, the sanding sheets and some drill-bit buffers and compound, and there's a place around the corner from where I live that sharpens axes and rehangs them. I'll update this with some progress photos later.

Since sailing season has been canceled this year, have been eyeball-building a sailboat from scratch, I have some RC guts to dump in it when it is mostly water tight. It is loosely based on an mid-1990s/early 2000s IMOCA/Open 60 design (the modern 2015+ models look more like alien spaceships than sailboats). Gonna hit it with some wood putty to seal up the gaps, put a transom (back/trunk lid) on it, and I have a prebuilt rudder off of ebay Thinking about naming it the Stephen Fry, as the nose (bow) is a bit crooked. I also have an ardupilot for it, which in theory should turn it into an autonomous GPS sailing drone? We'll see.

I messed up when turning this guy originally but kept the pieces with the intent of using a kintsugi-style repair process to fix it. I'm calling it a qualified success, even with the big chunk missing from the side:

I'm not sure about the sequence because it happened in a flash. I was working the outer shape, got a bad catch, the chuck let go, and it went flying. It bounced off my face shield but I don't know if it was already in pieces or if it broke once it landed. Probably the latter, but

I'm gonna keep ing even though this isn't so much a "project" as "thing I did to tickle the storage/organization fetish center of my brain." I have a couple of Dremel tools which came with their own cases and bags, plus various accessories, and I wanted them in one place. I bought one of these (look for a sale, use the coupons): and picked out the included foam to Tetris my way into having the tools and accessories like this: Still have room to add... uh, some tiny thing!

If I had a bunch of tools -- and no drawers/cabinets -- I would absolutely standardize on one case or storage system. I imagine it gets expensive in a hurry though.
