Testing out a few ideas - I'm not just printing and sewing...
Took a jiggsaw to an old some-kind of pine shelf that would be chucked out.
Then I had an annoying work day, so with the sun out I broke out the power tools in the form of the planer , orbital sander, and mouse sander...
Now to decide whether further practice calls for delicate sanding and fixing, or just jump to seeing how to paint the sucker.
Note: This is purely a rough prototype so I could make sure I had the logic all figured out.....
