Thanks guys for the kind words.

I forgot to mention the reason for this thread - it's a new year and like another thread started yesterday what's your goals for 2012.

For me one thing is to finish my custom Jukebox, as I lost motivation a few years ago, had a child and then the pinball addiction started.

So I will be posting the process that I came up with up to where it is now and then the goal is to finish off this year in which I will document the process, somethings ended up being not the best process / design so a little bit of backward stepping and may seek a few opinions in one area when I get to that point.

Hope you enjoy and that it can encourage you can be creative in an area that you didn't think you were or scared of entering.

I am not a joiner by trade but my dad was a woodwork teacher and grew up appreciating timber. I entered the field of engineering building light aircraft and then cnc machinery so I now (did) do timber work with a bit of a engineering approach. I never attempted anything this big before, nor this fine in detail before so did took a big step but it is rewarding. I had a dream of custom furniture with a bit of a beach theme - hence my swinks logo with the woodie car symbolising - surf and wood. I was one of those guys not quite a risk taker to put everything on the line - though did do it as a part time business but didn't get any lucky breaks I suppose.
