Is this getting cut out in a laser cutter machine, i remember using them in school for designing stuff out of cad, damm it made things so easy to make, you just designed everything out in a flat pack manner, then got it cut and glued all the bits together. And then they give you an A level in technology couldnt have been easier, bar the fact everything was milimeter precise.

As for the building trade, my experience in it has included building a self collapsing wall, and some easi crack™ concrete yard. Thats why i prefer building with wood, you just shave a bit off if it doesnt fit.

I've got a mate like that here, everything had to be made out of wood. Until I showed him how to weld, now everything's made out of steel :lol:
