    That pneumatic nailgun really made me appreciate just how much hammering carpenters used to have to do until recently. Even sped-up, it’s clearly much simpler, easier, and more reliable. I used to think blacksmithing had to involve the most hammering pre-industrial revolution, but now I’m not so sure!

    Brings back memories seeing that cabinet build... Worked on arcade machines in the late 80s and early 90s when in highschool (my dad had a business). Only change I would make is I would have mounted the computer hardware under that board or on the side to protect it from being "coke-ed" (when someone sets a coke on the control panel and then spills it.). Always made a real mess in the coin box 😀.
