Laying out the workspace 

I spent some time last night cutting out the pieces for the project and laying out my work table.  I have my pattern (left), color drawing (center) and my pattern pieces (right).

After printing it out and cutting it, I realized just how small some of the pieces actually were… oy.  Some will just have to be skipped.  If I actually cut them, they will be completely covered with foil and eventually solder.

I can only hope this doesn’t take away from Mike’s design.  I’m pretty sure it won’t, but if it does I’ll just dig a whole outside, bury the whole thing, and pretend I never did it.  hehehe.  :-O
