I sound goofy as hell, but I'm genuinely proud and excited that I figured this out. I'm building a dresser and testing lights that come on when you open each drawer.
Wiring 6 switches was more complicated than I thought it would be, but dammit I did it!
The more I grow into woodworking, the more interesting the peripheral hobbies become. I'm excited to see where I can incorporate custom low voltage electronics into my projects.
This is a countertop game cabinet I built. It took me longer to finish than it should have because I had to work around my skill limitations. You know how you can see exactly how you want something to come out, but there's a big gap between what you can do and what you need to do so it looks that way? That's what happened with this cabinet. I'm not showing the back because it's a mess. I didn't know how to size my cabling and wiring, so it looks like a birds nest back there. The extra LED strip is still attached and just rolled up because I didn't know I could cut them I'm certain spots.
I look at this and feel a mixture of pride for accomplishing something that was outside of my comfort zone, and embarrassment because I can see all of my mistakes looking at it with wiser eyes.
