this is great, how's your fab lab coming along ?

Recently I learnt that there's a fab lab sensation by prof Neil Gershenfield of MIT Bits and Atom Lab - they go around the world setting up maker spaces. Innovation helps bridge low level tech to high level knowledge - so the idea is to infuse basic makers skills and let creativity go wild. The second thought concept is by another prof Rajesh from MIT on how you enable communities to help themselves by uplifting them. Perhaps this might give you more thoughts and ideas on your lab!

Also, i have a solid wood chest drawer i puchased second hand and refurbished it, but the bottom both side is chipping off. Maybe it went through flood idk. If i were to cut another wood and joint it, would i impact the stability ? i used a wood plaster and extended the bottom with another strong food stand (we have a lot of jati here) but its giving way after a year plus. Its one of those big old chest drawers with solid wood and i got it for under $20
