LSDguy Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 My wife hates me spending time on these projects.Since my office didn't have space for a cabinet, I built this: https://plus.google.com/photos/114555912323326795972/albums/5998064004391455249?hl=en_US Which she wasn't a huge fan, but then played hours of Galaga, and her opinion improved. Of course that just wet my whistle for another project. I knew we didn't have a lot of space, but I built this out of some spare parts from a cheap desk hutch: https://plus.google.com/photos/114555912323326795972/albums/6015958575856443281 Wife gives me dirty looks every time I use it for now. I'll get her to do some 2 player Soul Calibur and she'll be hooked. Love it dude! Crapcade is awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polemicist Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I just told my wife a few nights ago that the cost of making the coffee table jumped but the quality went up and she was like "yeah that's fine". I think I got the right wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust2dust Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The problem with that is .....how tall are you? What do you weigh? .....a lot of it depends on how mechanically inclined you are. Older bikes always need work. It's not like driving a beater car with a few things wrong....A bike has to be in damn near perfect running condition. ...honesty a good size for a starter is an 800 Virago it's not too small ,you will get tired of a 500 in 6 months. classic look....affordable.

tonycawa Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Just read the thread and I was rolling! Thanks all for the good laugh. I got a good one...mentioned I wanted to build an arcade and she hands me 300 bucks to buy a used cab to gut. No complaints around here. The most she ever says is.....are you going to geek out again, my reply "yes", her reply "Ill go read my book". Got it made in the shade fellas! Hopefully Ill be building something cool real soon.

rdhanded2 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 My wife has always supported any hobbies I have and I do the same for her. I feel that is the way any relationship should be as long as it is not destructive or bleeding out $ you don't have. Plus, the arcades always make parties more fun.
