    That is beautiful. Its elegant, modern and it's a perfect blend of manufactured and organic materials. It's just simply stunning to look at! The detail, the design, the idea behind it... everything about that custom-built chassis is art.

    I can't even begin to think of a price to put on it. I guess the best way would be to calculate how many hours were put into it and then add in the cost of materials.
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    I just read the entire thing from start to finish.. I especially loved Indybird recomending the $1000+ wooden mouse from today.

    thats funny because the majority of it was done with a hacksaw, a homemade brake, files, a drill and a router. and lots of elbow grease lol.
