It looks like some blue monster is trying to eat it. (or least lick it).

I happy to see that my piece is behaving and not warping or popping strips of wood. :slight_smile:

I still watch the reveal video from time to time. Loved seeing the surprise and excitement in opening the box and then exploring the faces!

I was supposed to go to bed an hour ago, but I had to rewatch - and then re-read all the comments. I loved doing this, and the joy on everybody’s faces made is SO much better!

Ya’ll really rock (both :glowforge: folk and all the folks involved in the build + others). This forum rocks :heavy_heart_exclamation: :heavy_heart_exclamation: :heavy_heart_exclamation:

I don’t think I ever shared more details on my tile. I went back and found a pre-glue photo that lets you read the full quote, otherwise only visible if you rotate the mechanism!

The T-shaped “key” is held in magnetically, and you pop it out like this:

I had forgotten until this very moment that my forum avatar is a recolored version of the “TJE” on the back of the tile. :slight_smile:

It’s a single line from cinema’s greatest monolog.
It’s not as powerful without the movie leading up to it but here is the scene.
