  • Concerto-based screen for HMS-specific stuff (need RPi and screen) mounted on wall - Done as of 3/3/2019
  • Fusion360 post processor for CNC plasma machine
  • More Canvas courses (Intro to welding (mig and tig), CNC Plasma)

Worth the Ol' College Try

  • Getting the Emerson bandsaw to cut straight - Thanks to Michael Skilton for taking care of this!
