Ok, this really isn't an update. More of a realization/apology.
I was attempting to build my children some gorgeous hope chests. Their intended function was to store personal affects as they grow up, etc... Securely too.

Unfortunately, around august of 2011, I got injured by my table saw. A small 3" long x 1" x 1" chunk of VERY hardwood shattered on the table saw and got me dead in the lower lip, leaving me with 8 or so stitches and a hole in my lip. I was very lucky.
For some reason, ever since then, that project was conspicuoulsy shelved. Not by a direct thought process... it just kind of happened. I do plan to get re aquainted with it someday, I promise.
Until then, I am currently build a 3D ABS/PLA printer. basically, it will print fine quality plastic parts for engineering check fits and design assesments for some automotive products I plan to develop.
Projects, I love them.
