It's worth checking out their entire flickr stream to see the kinds of things they're doing. My urge to get a table-top laser-etcher that can cut wood is increasing.

How robust is the folded section? Can it survive a lot of use/abuse, or will it break down there pretty quickly?

My realistic urges for new tools are limited by space. I had made the bad mistake of bargaining away a section of the lower level where I have the two rooms of my shop. I could have had three, but then I would have filled them up before this anyway.

I'm hoping to build an XYZ computer controlled table once the shop is done, and hanging a laser off that should be possible (though pricey). On the other hand, those cuts look like they could be done with a 1/16" bit in a Dremel tool.
The hinge doesn't look terribly robust, so I think it's more of a novelty than an actual functioning part.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
