YouTube with a Hail Mary feeding me a video titled “Myths about owning a laundromat.” But dammit, I clicked on it.

Finished wiring the sauna. Heater is 7.5kw; this beast pulls ~32 amps @ 240 volts. 150ft cable run, so had to use 8ga wire due to voltage drop. Auxiliary 120V lines for various sensors. I knew how to do exactly 0 of this before building a pinball machine (and watching @techconnectify.bsky.social)

My homebrew pinball machine will be at Ontario Pinfest this weekend for its public debut! (Didn’t get the playfield art done in time, but oh well.) Come play it, please!

Landscaping update: Leveled some ground in my backyard, installed an 8x8’ base, now filling with stone. Wait’ll you see what’s going to sit on top of all this.

My 5-year-old somehow learned what a drinking game is. “Daddy, it’s like a contest…to get DRUNK!”

You know you’re doing a fun job when the updates to your wife simply read: “Alive.”

Here’s the finished underside of my pinball machine. Not the world’s cleanest wiring harnesses but it’s still somewhat organized

A little action from the pinball machine! If you get the ball in the cooling tower you can eject it to various ramps.

Finished the art for the front of the cabinet. Really makes the machine come together. Playfield art next!

The sign of bonding with my father is that he just called to ask if my socket set is imperial or metric, and can he borrow the 10mm

Here’s one of my parts-files for my homebrew pinball machine. These are modeled (in Blender) and 3D printed. They’re mostly brackets to hold things in precise positions (often with sub-mm margins of error.) Each part likely went through several revisions; I never got anything right the first time.

Sketch vs final art for my ‘Who Shot Mr Burns’ pinball cabinet sides. Officially the physically-largest piece I’ve ever made (4 feet long.)

Here’s a few more photos of the pinball machine. It still needs playfield art, a few more sculpts, and a ton more coding. …But it works!
