12/9 - 12/13

This week, I got a lot of work done on my arcade machine project. First, I continued to paint the arcade machine over the course of the week. After I was done, I attempted to reassemble the arcade machine, but the paint was making it very hard to do that. With the help of Milo, Ben and some moral support from Aaron, I was able to reassemble the arcade machine. Now, all I have left to do is sand down the button holes, and crimp some extension wires. With the arcade machine assembled, I added the lock joints into their respective slots so that it is held together properly. I will have to sand down the paint that got into the button holes so that I will be able to fit the buttons in, because the paint has kind of made this a lot more difficult. I had foreseen this being a problem, however, so it won't be that big of a deal for me to figure out. I will enlist the help of Sacha Silvia for this task. Also this week, I designed and lasercutted some Christmas gift ornaments for my family, so that was pretty cool.
