My Name is Steven Fett, I have worked in IT, Fabrication, and am now an Instructor at Cook Inlet Tribal Council's Fab Lab. I'm excited to be enrolled in the 2016 Fab Academy and hope you'll enjoy joining me as I document my adventure this year

While preparing for the weekly lesson from Neil my wonderful HP All-In-One decided it wasn't going to boot any more. Wonderful being hyperbole of course. This workstation has survived two garages and a metal shop. I honestly don't even know where the original stand is anymore. Before bringing it in to use for Fab Academy I had to bend a new foot out of 1/8th Inch Sheet metal (thats 3mm to you non-consumers of Ranch Dressing flavored hot dogs and Doritos). Having survived the first two weeks with intermittent lock ups it tested my patience for possibly the last time during a group video call. I stripped the system down and beat it with a hose (not really just cleaned it out with the air compressor). Its running alright now....
