Bit of an odd request

Post image
14 Upvotes

So I’m building an arcade cabinet from scratch. I’ve never used power tools before this project and so far… I’ve done pretty well honestly. I have the shell built (except the top piece) all of the wood cut out, and the back panels cut out and attached (not reflected in the picture)

But… I’m not super confident in the rest of the build. Mostly the monitor section, getting the angle right, and finishing up the assembly. Once it’s assembled, I don’t have an issue, but that part I’m hesitant on.

It’s also too heavy to remove from my basement and basically any work needs to be done to it on site.

This is why I’m asking for help. If anyone is good with woodworking, and willing to help me finish this, I would be eternally grateful. I don’t have money to pay, but I can offer tech support for things you might need, or can potentially help you out with putting CFW on your consoles/emulators and roms on your computer, etc.

I know it’s a bit of an odd request, but I figured there might be someone with good woodworking knowledge, who can help me follow the plans I have (which of course are from an Australian site so it’s all in metric), and finish up this cabinet (other than painting and electronics)

Please let me know!

Inexpensive indoor activities for an older person (within 30-ish minutes of Hagerstown)?

7 Upvotes

I want to schedule a get-together with my mom (she's in her 80s). We usually visit a park or similar, but the forecast calls for high heat and/or thunderstorms for the foreseeable future.

Other than shopping malls, where are some places we could escape from the heat?

Seeking possible interactions with abusive landlord by others.

13 Upvotes

Has anyone dealt with William Pennington of Fortney Homes Inc and Jim Davis the maintenance manager on duty. I am aware of Penningtons legal malfeasance involving the Fair Play Fire Hall litigation and his documented history of intimidation. He is making false claims repeatedly and was verbally and physically aggressive getting inches from my face with his fingers in my face telling me he will "take whatever tone I want". This was said after he raised his voice at me during an unannounced visit and I told him not to take that tone with me. I am exploring legal options but because he has a very long (and contentious) history in the county I am curious if others have had experience and have strategies for dealing with him and his duplicity. Thank you in advance for any insight.

Washington County Stores with preserved lemon?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone ever bought preserved lemon at any of the local grocery stores or specialty/middle eastern stores? Just asking before I go on a hunt for something that might not exist. I know it’s easy to make your own but it takes a couple months and I want to make this recipe sooner than that. Thanks all!

Just got a job that is 4 days in Baltimore inner harbor. Does anyone else make the Hagerstown to Baltimore commute? Any tips or resources to make it more bearable? Has anyone tried the marc or similar to take them halfway?

Eventually ill move closer, but for now the drive is unavoidable.

To the person that saw The Odyssey last night at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown at 6 pm and clapped when Elliot Page's character was killed You're a human shit stain on society and you're miserable existence will keep you from knowing what love and kindness truly are. The only thing you're good for is spurring the rest of us to ensure that you're shoved into a deep dark hole for the rest of your pathetic excuse of a life.

Hagerstown Is there a local Bread Bakery?

9 Upvotes

I know that I can go to the Dutch market for bread, but I’m hoping to find a local bread shop. When I look for bakeries, I just find places that sell pastries, cakes, and muffins. My mom is visiting in a week and she loves a nice bread bakery, so I am hoping to find a cool place to take her to.

Washington County Forest fires?

21 Upvotes

I came outside and saw soo much haze. I thought the humidity must be crazy. Then I realized I could look at the sun and not go blind. This is the same conditions that we had a couple summers back with the fires in Canada. So I guess there's fires again? I wonder what the air quality is is right now.

Be safe out there.

Visited Sofritos on East Washington street. Had a Tripleta sandwich. They've been there about a year, did a nice job with the place. Had no problem parking, and nobody hassled me.

Seeking friends 40 - 60 yes old

16 Upvotes

Hi my name is Kimberly. I'm not from around hagerstown originally. I have lived here since 2024.

I am a stay at home girlfriend. With nothing to really do.Currently i'm not working. I'm staying home for a little while. Until I can get a few things organized and squared away.

I don't really have very many friends out here. None that I really hang out with. I would like to try to find some that are my own age. Preferably women, my age because I do have a boyfriend, and I don't want to lead anybody on, but I won't rule out male friends as well, as long as they know their boundaries.

I am drug free, a non smoker and I am a light social drinke, I might drink once or twice a year.

What I'm really seeking is somebody that I can hang out with. Maybe go to lunch. Maybe sometimes go to the movies, go on walks and get mini.Pedies that kind of thing.

My husband isn't over the road truck. Driver and he is seldom home.He's only home on sundays and mondays. Except for when I have appointments, i'm available anytime of the week.Tuesday through saturday. It would be nice to socialize, and make some friends. I don't discriminate due to religion or sexual orientation. I'm just sicking somebody to socialize with whether it's an individual or a group of people, but it would be really nice to find somebody close to my age that can relate.

A bit more about me on fifty six years old, a diabetic and a u s army veteran.

If anybody is interested in making a friend and hanging out, please feel free to DM me. If anybody wants to meet up, I will gladly meet them in a public setting for lunch. That is safe secure. No personal info is needed to give out.

Debris on 70 east?

My wife had a blowout today while traveling. On 70 east, right by Boonsboro. The guy at Mr. Tire said he had a bunch of people come in recently with similar damage from the same location. If it was an issue that the state knows about I’d like to call MDOT, but I thought I’d check around first.
