The most urgent needs are:

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">For the router:
15-50mm thick wood/nylon/plastic 400x400->1200x1200? The school hasn’t done much with the router and I’m doing heaps of experimentation at the moment. One kid has modelled up a fender telecaster body in fusion and just finished cutting it (complete with , string holes, surface countours perfect cutouts for all the components and wire channels) out of a thick piece of pine “butcher board”. I’ve been cutting stuff out of “boat board” from dotmar’s dumpster. I love the stuff, but they don’t throw it out very often.
That’s the stuff I know we use… There could be other awesome materials that I just haven’t been able to find as scrap to test with.
Thanks guys!
