Hi Tim,
Awesome build the machine looks fantastic! Apparently you are right-handed.....being a lefty I put my primary controls on the left side for easy access.
The full access hood design is great, do the gas shocks take care of most the weight?
Your lab is fancy.....curtains and all
Too bad you have to disassemble it, perhaps your better half will allow it to stay where it is
You have built a nice laser, thanks for sharing.
