Wednesday 11-2 Continue Working on Playfield

 

I hope everyone had a great day.

We continued working on the playfield cabinet of the pinball machine. We are a bit short on 3/4 plywood so Larry built the bottom out of some 1/2", he really wanted that board to be thicker so he cut another piece the same size, then he drilled holes in the board and screwed the two pieces together. To assemble all the pieces he drilled pocket holes and screwed them together. It came out perfect. We moved everything into the workroom to figure out the next step. Larry put the computer into the cabinet and put the piece of plywood for the monitor on top of it. Next he put the monitor on the board. We added a couple of wood rails to the cabinet to place the monitor and board on. Next step is to build a pivot, this will allow the monitor to be pivoted out of the way so Larry can work on the electronics under the monitor.

I played my games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. Then I did the Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 23 minutes and 30 seconds, which put me in 22nd place in my group. I played some Angry Birds.

In the evening we watched an Amazon movie called Captain Fantastic. It was about a father raising his children non-traditionally. He raised them in the forest and educated them himself. It wasn't a bad movie. Afterwards I watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is the third movie. Then I finished the 8th season of Bergerac. I ended up doing 28,000 steps, which put me in 3rd place in my group.
