Hello all,

Everyone seems to have a cool name for there cabinet and ever since I started work on mine I wanted to have a cool name too. I now have one with a story behind it. The Busted Toe Arcade. (ok, so its not a cool name)

Well, yesterday I cut the wood for my cabinet. I am using 3 8x4 sheets of 3/4" MDF board. It is VERY heavy stuff.

Well after cutting it with a rented table saw I was taking the pieces to my game room where it is to be assembled. I was on the last peice (one of the sides) and went to set it down but my hand slipped so the board (again very heavy) swung down and hit my big toe!

It almost brought tears to my eyes. When I stopped swearing I looked at my toe which was all swollen and bleeding like crazy. I couldn't move it either.

That was yesterday. Today I looked at it and my whole toe is black and there is blood under my nail. (which is not going to be there for very long I imagine...) I can now move it but it is very sore.

So I was cursing about my busted toe and arcade machine when it came to me. Why not call my cabinet the "Busted Toe Arcade" and now when people ask why I would name it something as stupid as that I can relate this story!

Don't know why I posted this...someone might enjoy it.

Shane
