sure, but I don't find it to be the best part at all. I just have done too
much carpentry over the years and I dont like it.
Eventually I'll be making the patterns with a 3D printer... design on PC,
hit print, mount to match plate, and boom! Beauty like, even if I have to
redraw all the gingery parts (which I know people have done before) and get
them commercially printed then that's what I'll do... I understand you guys
thinking it's important to do the carpentry... but I don't. I'm young and I
want to integrate technology. Anyway, I guess I'll just do up the pieces in
sketchup and get them printed
