I am planning on converting our two-car garage into a rumpus room. One day I’d like to have a pool table, bar, arcade machine, juke box and a 140 inch TV (via a projector).

I just read an article about creating a decent DIY projector screen. Nice work.

I managed to get some really great nuts and bolts to fix the top half of my cabinet to the bottom half. I have no idea what they are called. They will allow me to screw the panels together without taking up any significant room on the inside. This is quite important as there is no room to spare – the TV will be taking up all the internal space.

funky nuts and bolts

I’ve also managed to re-build the control panel section in it’s entirety. It has working hinges so now maintenance can be done on the inside wiring without pulling the whole thing apart. More pictures on that later…
