The clearcoat is finally cured, and most of the playfield is reassembled. Tomorrow is polishing and waxing, then the two wireforms can go back on… then I think it’s DONE-done! #pinball

Got a test print done of my pinball playfield art. Need to ensure all the lighting inserts line up, sign off on the look, and then can move onto the production vinyl print

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)
