Everyone makes such amazing things!! I hope to grow my creative skills as well as everyone else. This was my first wood working project (sortaā¦ my first one failed, so I called mulligan 
) I made a cutting board for my mom. It still needs some mineral oil, but you get the jist. I chose piggies because itās my momās favorite animal and I have five brothers and sisters, so naturally thereās 6 little piggies. Obviously thereās room for improvement on this guy, but thatās what makes it a great first project. Quarks I can learn from. Ultimately I had fun making it, met some awesome/helpful people, and I know I used enough glue. Haha
There are a bagillion more projects I plan to work on, but Iām only here until May, so Iām hoping to learn as much as humanly possible before moving to Alaska. I basically have a ābucket listā of projects I hope to complete before then. My big project is to create a custom Settlers of Catan board game. So if anyone has already done that or has thought of doing that and wants to colab/assist, hit me up! Also, if I ever look like Iām struggling with whatever Iām working on, feel free to offer your expert advice. Iām here to learn just as much as I am to create. (Plus, I probably am struggling. Lol)
I look forward to seeing everyoneās upcoming projects. Itās always refreshing to see others exploring their imaginations and bringing it to life.

Edit: I forgot to mention a huge thanks to @PearceDunlap (I think this is you) for all his help with the Lasersaur. I probably would have broke down crying and given up trying to figure out all the hiccups I kept running into. (Design/user error haha)

Nice cutting board!! I love how you lined up the piggies on the laser, cool work.
If youāre moving to Alaska, maybe you can take what you learn here in Dallas and start a new Makerspace up there
