Mind the Gap!!!

Tuesday update.. Slept in late today as I was so exhausted, it meant by the time i got started on the box it was 6pm!!

My first attempt to get the holes drilled for the buttons and joystick wasn't too hot, it was my first time using this adjustable hole drill and it chews MDF like butter one second then concrete the next, not reliable me thinks....

Took a few attempts and a lot of extra sanding as i was about 2mm out on the right size to get the button in the hole!!

Button fixing time... Added my first button hole and screwed one into the panel as show below to test it out..




The first button is in and screwed into place.. You can see the guides now for the others too.. Woot..



Drilled another hole and started to fill the gaps in the sides of the box with flexible wood filler, this will make painting it smooth later a whole lot easier i think.. And I've still got 2 tubs left over from the floor filling, so i might as well use it eh..




Can you spot the seam above where the 2 pieces join! I thought not... Nice..




Hole 3 is drilled and ready for sanding, I'm dreading doing the Perspex with this hole drill, its all over the shop with the bloody battery powered drill i;m using,

I may have to borrow my sisters drill or get up in the loft and check if the mains powered one is up there, of course that means braving the monster that lives in the dark corner of my loft, the one from "The Grudge" that makes that creaking noise every time the torch isn't facing into that corner.. Creepy...




That's the final shot for today, cant really do any more drilling at 11:45pm can I, well i could but no doubt one of the neighbours would throw a shit fit..

More tomorrow..
