Not only can you talk about the case, but you can tell folks about the place (talk up MakeHaven!), that you went to make the case. All this for $15.00, a bargain!

Will be doing a quick brew with a few friends. Good time to check out the brewing machine in action. We are planing to start promptly at 4pm and be wrapping up around 5:30.

We will look at the equipment we have, start to prepare a space for the construction and do some work on it if we feel we are ready to make progress.

We will introduce the principles of useing the laser, for example, when to use vector cutting or raster engraving models.

The designs will be compared and then analized to identify improvements on the design. 

Students can scan hand drawn images or can create an image that they want to use prior to class.

Students are asked to bring a laptop with Inkscape installed prior to class. Use of the MakeHaven computer will be available if arrangements are made prior to class.
