Forstner bit 1 1/8"12 viewsThis is the 1 1/8" forstner bit I purchased for drilling out button holes. It is the perfect size, and there is no better way to get these holes made, in my opinion. It cost $16 if I recall, but the time savings and extra precision you will get make it well worth it. This one came from Home Depot.

Sanding both sides together4 viewsOnce you get both sides cut out, stack them on top of each other, clamp them, and sand their edges at the same time. This way you will get sides that match up very well.

Rigging power to the Druin board36 viewsGetting power to the rotary interface board was a pain. We ended up taking a butt joint from Radio Shack and connecting one end to the ground wire, and the other to the second power connection on the I-PAC. The first power didn't work.Jun 03, 2006

Butt connectors27 viewsThis is the package of butt connectors that I purchased in order to get power to the rotary interface. We only ended up needing two of these I think. If you can avoid buying at Radio Shack, do it, since they are so over-priced.Jun 03, 2006

Control panel 1st test64 viewsI hooked the panel up to my computer once it was all wired, and fired up The Legend of Kage. It played great, although playing on the floor wasn't the most comfortable situation.Jun 03, 2006
