[Lance]

Been working on a full-sized arcade. Slowed down by shipment issues with the electronics/components. IMG_20200401_182614.jpegIMG_20200401_182557.jpeg

have a complete HAPP 2 player setup for this( joysticks, buttons,etc) as well as additional concav happ buttons if you're interested, bought it for one of my builds i never completed

I have some sanwa joysticks that I bought as part of a kit. The buttons themselves don't feel smooth. But I'll know once I get it up and running.

Will contact you if anything.

Those are the displays that are going to be used?

Isn't that border a bit thick?

that is a 1/4” rubber shipping protection we left on
the actual border is thin about 2mm

another very hot day

i spend about a hr outside & run back inside to sit in front a fan

gonna go back out in a while to change\upgrade 2 security cams ...

[Ted_v2]

ent, these days i train my body to sleep at around 1pm-5pm, that usually is the most unproductive hours of my day.
i could get stuff done at night and early in the morning, doing alot of reading on networking and setting up a proper home network.

already figured out a storage solution for my pc using 4 drives to make the most out of my hardware and data. Looking to get into building a machine with more than 4 drives too, just for the kicks.

owner want a big screen for entertainment conference center and willing to spend.

for a big screen the only other option is projector cinema style and that is a different setup requiring plenty power and I guess unlit room
as well as a dedicated setup to house the equipment to shoot at the screen.

a modern led video wall will be more crisp and brighter imo.
either setup will be pretty flexible in video formats now as projector should be all digital computer based too.

I'll give Peake's a call tomorrow. It's listed on their website but says out of stock. Not sure if it's just not updated.

I made a little progress today with the graphic work.

I am in the process of building a metal frame front gate using wooded planks/slabs inside the steel frame. What would be the best wood to use for outdoor. Something wirh a 1inch thickness

[rebound]

For my gates I used Balata...they are 12years old now and I had to change the metal base section last year due to the dogs but the wood is still in good condition......the downside to wood panels taking all that weather is that you should reseal it annually.

[Strugglerzinc]

This is mine with greenheart.

The downside is I have yet to find something to coat it with any longevity. I redo the planks every 6 months. Nothing penetrates. I have Flood CWF UV-5 on some outdoor pine going 3+ years with no issue, this greenheart just laughs at that.

[rebound]

I also use the Flood on the Balata but, U seal it with Berger sealant 30 mins before applying the Flood. That precoat helps

What sealant do you speak of? Can you tell me the exact name? I can try it at my next redo in 3 months.

^^^ Was thinking of using pitch pine, any one had luck with using pitch for out door conditions?
