Quoted from Skins:

I like to put a nice fresh, clean 45 degree bevel on the cabinet outside bottom edges. It's near impossible to free hand it with an orbital sander. You invariably change the angle of the sander so the outside edge undulates up and down. This is especialy critical when installing/trimming decals. I'm sure there's a tool for this and if so please link me. I always just end up making a 45 degree beveling sanding block out of scrap 2x4's. I present my marvel of ingenuity, lol.

And the result is a beautiful, straight 45 degree bevel.

A 10 second pass with the router

Quoted from Skins:

I don't own a router. Scraps of wood = free. Only took me a couple minutes to sand and make the block.

You should Even if only for edging trim, bevels, cutting slots, etc. Cheap and easy (tho bits are expensive).

What I really miss is a table saw with a big table.. and nice dado blades

The compounding and polishing is child's play compared to what you've done already (and sanding in general). Since you have a fresh finish you don't have much to do anyways. Just cycle through like you do with sanding and it will happen easily. Seriously, the sanding is far more risky

Quoted from Skins:

So little effort and time too

Told ya The sanding is really where the bulk of the work is and highest risk. The compounds just make your passes and move up to the polishes.. it goes quickly.

Quoted from bjsilverballs:

Looks like the Bally on the coin door is off center? Door still looks amazing though.

Looks like something happened when he imported the Bally logo. It's not the same proportions as the regular door decal. The right side of the lowercase a should be right about the center line.. but see how in this rough overlay his gold letters are closer in the lly then they are in the B

The blue here is a rough approximation how it should look, you can see his gold letters behind

Just pay attention to the cursor location AFTER you press the + button and where it inserts the next if you are adding multiple pictures in a row

The scripting with the editor box is a bit wonky with where it places the cursor after adding an image.. so doing multiple + actions can be confusing and frustrating. It's hard to associate the attachment IDs with the inserted text at times.
