Thanks! As a team with limited machining capabilities (just a bandsaw, drill press, mini-lathe and mini-mill) we have made great use of the new products that have been released in the last couple of years as well as many random hardware store finds. Couple those with a bunch of really creative and dedicated students and great things can happen!

They wouldn't get into the bag! What's up with that?! I offered to put food in there and everything!

Yup. I'm a week ahead of you in first hearing that song and I'm sad to say that it hasn't got any less unstuck...
