So I got my kit and I'll be getting started building the thing tomorrow evening.

Please keep posting updates/timelapse and any problems you run into- I'm very interested in getting one for myself to build next month.

I've got a build log with a couple of gotchas at http://rettgergalactic.com/blog/2014/01/shapeoko-2-review/ you might find helpful.

Those are exactly the kinds of gotchas I was wondering about, thanks!

Once it's put together and calibrated, do you find you have to adjust and tweak things between projects or does it stay pretty well set? Do you feel like it's sturdy enough that the width could be expanded with more maker slide? You mentioned tapping several holes, did it come with a tool or did you have to use your own?
