Sneak Peek (I'm not dead!)

The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated or something like that. After about 2 months of inactivity I'm finally gearing up to work on the arcade again. Next up is the Control Panel - It's basically just a box that the joysticks, buttons and other controls sit on top of but building it is going to be very difficult because I'm planning on mitering every single joint.

Below is a sneak peek at one of the sides to the control panel base. The two holes that are cut out are for buttons (as you can see) - this is the short side of the control panel base and the buttons will eventually be used to simulate flippers on a pinball machine. There are several great programs out there such as Visual Pinball which recreates tons of different pinball tables. This is really going to be one arcade to rule them all!

This is going to be fun.
