Somehow, I simply can't wait until Sunday evening, when we'll all be at Clohanes house!

Might want to make that sunday week ciderman

Ok after a 2 week holiday from the table due 2 having man flu & catching up on work we're back on track

Should be posting up pics of a fully painted & wired unit tomorrow evening (fingers crossed)

Elbow

Paint on on, control drawer is wired, just gotta reassemble everything and i'll post up pics then.


Taken longer than expected but the end is in sight

This looks really tremendous, congrats, can't wait to see the finished table.

Elbow

BTW who's the MAME expert around here? I'm gonna be looking for some help next week

Elbow

Well reassembly has started but i've ran into some small problems :rolleyes:

1: The vinyl under the glass isnt perfect and dares a tiny tear by the screen
SOLUTION: Ignore at the moment

2: The top piece of 25mm MDF has started cupping
SOLUTION: some steel bar screwed to it should correct & solve the problem

I work in the drawing office for a fitted furniture company, it'd be a shame not 2 make use of the workshop

Just an update on tonight's work:

Everything is wired & tested just gotta tidy things up.
A few scratches need touching up :mad:
The vinyl is gonna be replaced with some black card aint happy with the finish.
Gotta fix the top

















I promise i'll stop uploading pics as soon as this is finished

Elbow

Any ideas what this'll be worth when its finished?

Something came up this morning and it looks like i might be needing a few extra euro soon, if i can make a few quid on the table it might have to be sacrificed
