Hey everyone! Don't rock. Hey everyone, my name is Eric Meunier, I'm a game designer here at Jersey Jack Pinball. And here at Jersey Jack we do more than just what our title is. And last week I was helping fabricate some stuff at our factory. To make our factory assembly line a little easier to use for the people that are on the line every day. So here you can see me using the ShopBot. ShopBot is a programmable CNC machine that we can use to make whatever we want. Most often I cut playfields on it, but when we need to make something else, I can go whip in the back and fabricate whatever we need. So we're very team oriented here, working with Wally, talking about looking at different things on the ShopBot. There's only a few people who know how to use this type of machinery and I'm one of them, so it was fun to take a break from what I normally do and go and crank out some stuff for our factory. So it's great to work here as a team. We're all very collaborative and have a lot of fun making pinballs and other things.
