How to make (almost) anything, almost?

No, it's not accidental that the theme of my page and the theme of the class are so close but yet so far away. Up until this point, my experience in CBA's Digital Fabrication Facility has been as stated on my page's title...I can almost make anything. I can get so so close to designing something in the software without watching 2 hours of tutorials to find my error; I can get so so close to working out the bugs of my design without calling to a Grad Student for help; I can get so so close to fabricating something without assistance from our Shop Staff; but yet at the same time, I'm oh so far away. My goal in this class is to bridge the gap between almost and almost. I want go from "Almost making anything" to "Making almost anything". Let the fun begin...
