Now that the Project has successfully ripened, it is time to make some progress!

So I made a simple frame from wood (2.5cm x 9cm):

The frame is just glued using simple tongue and groove joints:

The grooves were cut with a router, and the tongues were cut with a band-saw. Then I just glued a 3mm three-layer-board on top.

Next I assembled all the parts that gathered dust for the last years:

The frame is 2m x 1m, which I realize now is a bit over the top, but you've got to give your megalomania a treat sometimes I guess.

Right now I'm working on the software and I probably there will be more updates in the next weeks.
