Hi! You've found me. This is kind of an experimental / placeholder journal, since the way LiveJournal has been changing recently worries me.
You can find me there under the username m03m. That's m-zero-three-m.

Since I'm (for now) primarily an LJ user, these entries have been copied from there. Some have even been copied from MySpace first!
That causes some problems with linkage. And if there's something about site changes and other ongoing events that makes you go 'huh?' because it doesn't seem to make any sense, it's probably about LiveJournal, not Scribbld. I apologize for any confusion and other kinds of inconvenience.

Oh, and copying the entries from elsewhere means losing all comments, as well.

Fixing stuff is nice. I'm not overly technical, and I tend to be lazy, but sometimes I really enjoy tinkering and making things work again.
I'm currently working on a plastic ramp from my pinball machine. It's badly cracked and some pieces have fallen off, so [info]stoneshop took it out so I could fix it.
First I glued all the pieces back together and now I'm putting coat after coat of clear two components expoxy glue on, filling the holes and cracks in the clear plastic and making it thicker and stronger. I can't mend it invisibly. But I can make it whole and strong again, and it's going to look reasonably good.
The glue dries in ten minutes after you mix the two components together. I'm using an infrared lamp to heat it up while drying, which makes it harden better. It's great stuff, there are a lot of things you can fix with it.

I think I'll bend a strip of thin copper into shape and glue that to the underside of the ramp, to reinforce it. It's in the middle of the playfield and the ball hits it really hard sometimes. I'm looking forward to reinstalling the ramp once it's finished.

The place is smelling of epoxy and so am I.
But I don't mind.

The upper playfield, and the ramp. Click makes bigger.
The ramp in this picture has a sticker, that mine is sadly missing.
