To get things started, here's a picture of the wood frame I've put together using the R2D2 Wood CNC Frame Kit plans posted on the R2 Builder Yahoo Groups site. It's not glued yet, but fitted together (with some Dremel finesse). I'll probably still need to Dremel out some bits here and there, but for now -- it's done. One regret is that I didn't use great wood. This was plywood that I picked up at Home Depot. If you are going to go down the road of building your own frame -- I would think twice about picking up some good hobby-grade wood. I should note here that before this whole R2 project began, I never owned a router (workshop type router, not IP router...). So I learned along the way, scorched a bit of wood here and there, ruined a bit or two -- but I think by the time I was finished this frame I had learned quite a bit about the do's and don't to routing wood...
