Always the latest project
« on: October 17, 2010, 08:36:11 PM »
Is it just me or does everyone else start messing with their latest acquisition even though they have other projects started.
I have about 5 on the go at the moment and each time I pickup another project machine thats the one I want to work on.

I have two in the garage I haven't put a plug on.  I have one I am cleaning up and until that it is done I won't touch them as I will end up with bits everywhere and even more confused than I already am.

Im pretty much the same, except for my last two purchases (flash and hot hand) which have been either pushed into the corner or dismantled and stored away.
I would often be half way thru a resto then buy another, and i'd end up starting on the new one as well :lol

Cant do that at the moment, as i have two im working on for others, plus Quickdraw which i've kinda lost interest in for the moment @.@
I'm BUSTING to get Flash and Hot Hand up and running though, and to start on Pinball Pool's resto, but Hot Hand was brought home and taken apart to be stored under the other games in the garage, and Flash is currently being used as a shelf  @.@ @.@

Not me.

I have 3-4 years of projects lined up.

I make a list of parts I need, and start acquiring parts for the best deals I can get.

When I am ready for my 'next' project, I look at what I have vs what I need, and move on to what project I need the least parts for :)

John,

Very organised and logical process.

Not back to the confusion and unfinished projects.
Doesnt only go with pins, I have some home improvment ones in different stages.
(actually, finished the kitchen island last night, by attaching the kick boards. Yes, one project complete)
Now to get my welder back home,
