(09-19-2015) Touchscreen Jukebox Project

This is a simple touchscreen jukebox project I stared a while back, and just started assembling it this weekend.  It's just a small wooden box with a touchscreen monitor mounted on top, the audio plugs into the audio system in the shop - so the box itself has no speakers (except those built into the laptop computer).

Here is a close up of the software I wrote for this project.  It's super simple, allows you to add a path and create a random playlist based on the votes associated with each track.  The more up votes, the higher the chance to be added, the lower a tracks votes the more chance it won't be played.  Also, this is the debug/maintenance screen - once you turn that mode off the "Empty Database" and "Add Path" buttons are not displayed.

There are a few more features I want to add, but it works for now.  More updates when I get something done worth mentioning.

(09-15-2015 / 09-17-2015) - More powder coating

 

Here are the last three feet for the bathtub, each in various stages of sandblasting.

 

Here is one covered in powder paint and waiting to be cooked at 400 for 20 minutes.

And here are they are finished and ready to go back on the tub.

This is a foot off of an antique bathtub.  We sandblasted it and then powder coated it with semi-gloss black.

When we drove the 32 a couple days ago, one of the front tires blew, but fortunately we had some other wheels and tires from a 1936 truck that we could swap over - not as classic looking, but at least they're round.

(09-12-2015) Traffic light

Flash and I wired up an old traffic light for display in the shop.  We didn't wire this one up to be remote controlled or cycle like the others we've done - but it's still pretty cool.  We have a couple more that we might wire up as well - they might look good with the racing simulators.

(09-11-2015) 1932 gets some attention

 
Flash and I spent a little while getting the old 1932 Chevy out and got her running again.  We didn't do much other than that, but it sure was fun.

Also, Google pieced together a video from the stuff on my phone
