STAGE ASSEMBLY, PART 11

You know how they say "a picture is worth a thousand words"? Yeah, well, this ain't one of those:

The above picture won't mean much without those 1000 words. Instead, it will make most sense after a couple more posts. To make any sense of it now, just remember that this is "Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar In-a-Box". Not just a few electro-mechanical funsies. Nope. We are going for as much of the experience as we can fit into that tiny little TV cabinet. And that includes the cornucopia of interesting elements that pack the walls and shelves of the room. Just look at the walls of ETB here and here and here and here, as examples. Yeah, that's what I'm going for. The above is just the start.

Meanwhile, over at another part of the garage I am starting to construct the back enclosure to the cabinetry. This will also provide support and protection for more of the electronics packaging. I am taking photos of each step for the historical purpose of documenting the assembly.
