No...but I've been trying to get at least one thing done a day. It's probably something like 20 hours a week lately.

I've got a couple larger things in my back pocket that will take a lot more planning and coding to get done and I'd rather get the bug board down, and some random holiday cheer done before working on those.

Are there plans to also allow it to work on things like topaz and diamond and whatnot? That would be a nice tweak since they're natural materials too.

Yeah...I've been too lazy to find our current available materials list and go add them all :P
