Glad to hear about the uber videos. Videos are -so- helpful. Designing.... putting together... all of that will help teach us how to fish. So we can become creative on our own. I'm very excited to be able to make my own design, and hope not to get frustrated with the basics. I absolutely appreciate ...

They are absolutely beautiful! I wanted one for years and finallly got one last year. Seagulls in flight. I had thought of taking one apart (now that would be silly for the price of them!) to see how it worked; I just didn't understand it.

Hi:

I really should explain that every once in a while anyway as new people join our ...

That's a segway into my next question. What is the difference between GM and GT? I have GT and I don't see where one can create spur gears. And it sounded like the idea of GT was for 3D printers.
