Man there was a local maker space doing a weekend build for a few hundred bucks of this. Really wanted to do it, but time and money…

Right?? His builds are completely fascinating and I always learn something from them, but at the same time, they’re so frustrating, because there’s always a moment of him saying, “Ok, now I’m going to mill out this part using this one-of-a-kind machine from 1920 that I rehabbed.” I’m over here trying to make props out of insulation foam with X-acto knives!
