[Imc-makerspace] Makerspace Open Hours Tonight at 7

[wabyarlay at gmail.com]

I only thought it could be modded to provide more storage. Other than  
storage I don't see much use for it; except tear it apart until it's a  
table?

Perhaps those particle boards could be cut to size to go inside it. but  
then it would be so heavy, it would need wheels. I just so happen to have a  
set of heavy duty casters.

I have 2 hrs this morning to finish my rack but I have to be in lafayette  
by noon!
