Atari joystick
This is the Atari Joystick for the blue foam project. I was in a team with Marshall and Josh.
Some techniques we used were: angling the bandsaw table, using sandpaper super77'd to a piece of wood, hand sanding, lathing, hotwire, etc. When we were spackling we trying to keep it simple and just patch holes and smooth planes rather than slathering the whole thing in a million coats of spackle. We used the airbrush to prime it with Killz latex primer, before frantically cleaning it to make sure there was no paint left in there. Oh, and we used mostly Super 77 to bond the blue foam, but the jotstick banana peeled and we used a little epoxy to fix it up.
