All the 'skill' is in not buying incompatible parts. Granted, that's a little harder to do with legos.

You assume Mr Popo is not welding in his spare time. I know I am.

I actually think build is more being used as a noun here. Discuss our PC builds or our configurations.

I'm in an apartment, so I gotta epoxy. Obviously the right answer for MJR would be a wooden build.

I could do faux stained glass in about four hours (depending on the image), I thought about doing that to an old case that had a window for an entire side. Doing it to an action figure would be alot harder.

bummed. The new RAM I just got isn't playing nice w/ my PNY RAM. I should have gone w/ my gut and just kept the same exact RAM to double up, but PCPartpicker assured me they should be compatible. :\
