Busy last week, but not with the 3D printer

The view from my kitchen table, Juneau and the Gastineau Channel

Things were busy this last week with birthdays and other things that kept me from doing much with my 3D printer.  I've finally got some time this evening so I'm starting at step 5 in the illustrated manual for building a Reprap Prusa Mendel and tightening down the frame while using the digital calipers to check all the measurements.  I'm hoping I'll get through the print bed assembly this evening.
