Our Projects

Here is a list of the projects we have completed (or just begun) over the years, in no particular order:

Arcade Machine – Full-scale MAME arcade cabinet named “Aladdin’s Castle”.  It took about 6 weeks to build and cost about $1600.  Recently sold for $850 on 5/31/2009.  I used the Project Arcade book to build it.  Sold in order to simplify my life.  The arcade machine was cool, but somewhat impractical.  I have no shortage of outlets for gaming of all different types.  Aladdin’s Castle was just something complicated that I needed to worry about.  No longer.

Board Game – The board game “Fire”.  I am currently building this board game from scratch.  It’s not difficult because it is entirely made out of wood.  It is about 40% complete.

Boomerangs – This past Christmas (2008) I made about 6 boomerangs from aircraft plywood to give away as gifts.  During the process I discovered a style that I can really call my own.  I have made about 10 boomerangs in my life, but this last batch really solidified my style.  However, making boomerangs is difficult without the proper tools, and I don’t have the proper tools.  So I may not make any more boomerangs.
