But I do own a scroll saw (the thing he was using in the beginning of the video). Scroll saws are awesome for one-off art project-type stuff. Put another way, I'd rather have fretwork in my home that was cut by hand on a scroll saw (or with a manual fret saw) than some laser-cut, mass-produced stuff. But for what this dude was doing, the CNC is unbeatable. Every day would be a party in my house if I had a CNC machine. Just me, a glass of booze and a bunch of laser-cut bits of stuff piled around me. ;) I think what I'm getting at here is, thanks for the video. It's a cool project and Xeni: seriously. Thank you for publishing these kind of videos. SERIOUSLY. Holiday kisses for you (I mean that in a good way, like when a daschund licks your hand... not like when a hairy dude from the Coast Guard bumps the nearest port and wants to lick your hand).

Stevens borrowed from another webcomic, Sam Brown's Explodingdog." Technically it is a character that they share. The two have worked together going all the way back to when they were neighbors in college. “To be all pedantic and quibbley, that particular robot is a character that R.
