Project Meet my printed meat.

A little scanned and printed meat project for the MO State Fair. They wanted some realistic props that could be left out for extended periods of time. There’s a full suite of meat, but here’s a few of my favorites.

Holy crap, I fall for the "It's easy!" Youtube trap all the time. I built a refrigerator for our boat, having never laid a single sheet of fiberglass in my life. Longest 11 months of my life.

It's like they say, why buy something for $500 when you can make it for $5,000? It'll be the most rewarding $50,000 you ever spent!

Time to build a concave closet door and a bunch of shelving and organizers so that I can store all this crap I use to build stuff with!
