Some cool stuff today.
Popped in to my local laser cutting co to pick up my black perspex, while I was there I took a couple of shots with my camera phone (hides).

He also thought I might like to see it in action cutting out my last piece. So I video'd it (again with my camera phone sorry guys)
All my perspex is cut now, and I'll be taking photos of it tomorrow.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, and it isn't a train
