The website links were also helpful. I looked at them with my son and he is psyched. He's ready to saw and sand and calibrate. Me? Not so much. It's times like this when it would be helpful to have a daddy around. Ah well. It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none. None more black.

This is kind of our idea of fun. Gotta make it last.
