The "Build Your Own" Fall Session

Our Fall "Build Your Own" seminar was a huge success. We wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who attended and hope they enjoyed it as much as we did.
The best thing about a session like this, is it allows you to pick up other ideas from people who build machines every day. It also forces to you to examine your process as you guide someone through their developing process. It feels good to pay it forward. It's also nice to watch SOBA scold people when they have bad intel.
We would also like to thank SOBA for coming out and bringing his big bag of knowledge. At almost every turn he had a great trick for building or something very thought provoking. A pleasure to say the least.
To everyone who attended, thanks for coming out and to Jessica and Katie for the maple bacon cupcakes, well you know. We are in the early stages of a possible Spring "Build Your Own" session and a Fall SOBA machine building seminar at this years Paradise Tattoo Gathering.
