Very cool.

My table is typically the cleanest area but then guess what happens when you have the only clear landing strip in the jungle? My whole personal fabrication process is based on efficiency, right down to the points on my pencils. Nice work Jeff. I hear ya on the shop. The boatyard I work for full tim...
