So, I have a sheet of plexiglass, and I've broken a few small mill bits already trying to cut out pieces for a box. I don't have a band saw. Is Lexan easier to mill? One of my mill bits has a big hard glob of melted plexiglass at the end of it. It seemed to work better while going slower, but it still didn't work very well. It's starting to make me mad! ya! Any suggestions on making a dang box?! grr...

I'm also almost done with the control circuit! ya! almost!

Also, my dang school books and ungraded tests and stuff like that got stolen out of my car today (right at my house!), because they were inside a laptop briefcase thing. I think people thought I had a laptop.
