Count me out...looks like I'll be camping, and attending a funeral instead...can't wait.

I guess it was the titan,hornet and scout set, but I was thinking it was some other set that came out about the same time.

I know what your talking about...my friends brother had this. They all linked together too.

My makeshift table saw.

The blade,

It is a jigsaw mounted onto a platform.

So there you have it, a table saw.
-A side of nerf

How do you keep it to stay on with out holding the trigger? Did you wire a rocker switch in replace of the momentary one in the trigger?

I like the arcade... Where did you get the buttons and such? Also, how did you wire it?

I bought the buttons from an arcade wholesaler. I used a controller board called the iPac to wire it, but if I were to do it again, I would just wire the buttons directly to an old keyboard. Its cheap, and works perfectly. I wrote a journal along the way building it, its been awhile since I looked at it, but the page is here: http://thelowtech.com/mame-cabinet/

If you have any questions let me know, I loved building that arcade, and I'm happy to help out.

I will be definitely checking out the Hackatory.. Thanks for posting it; I've been looking for something like that.

Definitely come out during our next open hack. We are on the verge of getting the fabber working, we have a 2'x2' vacuum former, we just for 14 soldering stations, and just picked a fight with NYC Resistor. (our rival hacker space.) Needless to say, there is going to be some awesome stuff going on soon.

I've been learning to kitesurf..slowly.



We have an awesome hacker / maker scene in Philly. www.MakePhilly.com www.The Hacktory.org



I was building an arcade cabinet before my brother destroyed it.



I wired a key lock to my computer....as if there was something to protect in the computer...



Photoshop is fun.



I built a 'Brainwave Machine' out of Make Magazine....that thing is surprisingly fun.



We just got a Fab@Home 3D Printer at our Hacker space in Philly, The Hacktory.

Theres probably more I am forgetting, but thats it for now, as I'm done here at work.
