While I was waiting for the spare parts of my Stepcraft machine, I had the idea to continue model building and post about it. I had some minor projects on hold for a while, which I might review in future episodes.

Just Make It
Welcome to “Just Make” it
After some minor approaches to web design and publishing of diverse topics, I finally decided to “just make” it. Thus, I created this blog which will be focusing on hobbyist projects.
