Thanks David for the kind words.

The laser has a table 18x24 inches it can engrave glass, wood, metals, cork, plastics. It can cut wood, plastic. It can cut up to about 1/2". It's great for cutting small parts and making patterns for the router. If I didn't already have It would find other ways to do things, but since it's there I use it when I can much more accurate than I can do.

The Galley/Cargo Area is finished sort of.
The inside panel on the cargo hatch might just be a template I put 2 big scratches in it while I was cutting it. I should have taped up the top of the table saw.

Gary The treadplate is so sharp five gallon jugs of water moving around back there starts to cut the bottom of the water jugs. I will probably have to put a piece of carpet down to stop things from getting all chewed up.
