matt:
* good idea
but, i unlikely to have time to do a measured drawing for the small
press cart before the end of the term
if i do, i'll let you, apo-tools, and apo-pvp know
* the cart is meant to make it much easier to take the small press to
activities midway, etc.
and to make it easier to use in the press shop
* the wood behind the bookcase and the wood between the couch and BIG
table is far less in the way than many other things in the APOffice

Don't worry! No teaching necessary, just a general design to work off.
Heck, we could probably do that while you're away so no time would have
to be taken from press training. Our tools chair has said she would be
willing to do a training for brothers and pledges who want to learn so
this would be the perfect chance to go through that material for them.
