Hello Blogging world....
Today I bring you something very, very awesome, exciting, Amazazing(Quote from "The Benchwarmers")! and yet its still warming and pleasant to the heart. I felt condemned to do this project inspired from this video . Yes, yes, yes, I will be building a giant NES a.k.a Nintendo Entertainment System a.k.a the Original Nintendo (for you young'ns) controller/coffee table. I will be posting my progress over the next while...im really not sure how long this will take me. Anyway, here is some of the progress I have already.
I first decided to draw up blueprints so I had a rough idea of exactly how big everything needed to be. My dad gave me some calipers so I was able to measure the exact length and distance of each part of the controller in millimeters. I scanned a picture of my NES controller and blew it up a little bit so i had a little more room to write and it would be more clear. I then just multiplied the numbers I got by 100 and I found my new measurements in centimeters.
Next I got to work on the very top of the coffee table. I got a 5/8 inch piece of MDF and cut it to size. I then cut the shapes of the buttons and the border of the controller from 1/8 inch piece of hardboard.
Thats all I have done for now. Im currently waiting for the glue to dry :P
ill post more after a few steps are complete so im not posting little dinky short blogs for every single step. So be sure to follow along with me on this Legen....wait for it...those of you who are lactose intolerant guard yourself...Dairy...Legendary ride.
Be sure to check out this awesome band as well!!!! A Current Affair
