Adding to the Toolkit

If you’ve ever been in LMN’s office then you know we like to build big models so we can really get our heads in there.

As we learned with our 3D printer, sometimes the acquisition of new tools opens up possibilities that we wouldn’t have considered otherwise or at least makes the exploration process more feasible. I’ve heard this described as sometimes the tool shapes you while other times you shape the tool. With this in mind we set out back in March to build a CNC router.
