Ok. It’s home now. Need to get finished with work today and then come back this evening. Have to follow up on the shockstrip. I don’t know if I should punish you with a web stream. My camera is pretty minimal. Will get light better. Anyway. The cat is interested.

Might need two people to lift the GF out of the box without ripping it. Gonna need a perfect box to send back. Guess you could ignore the “This Side Up” sticker and pour it out (But don’t video that).

Childhood trauma from watching my dad’s VHS copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark have me slightly fearful of watching any live-stream. I’ll wait until tomorrow to see what face melting may or may not have occurred. Pretty neat though!

Quick break: It has very clear instructions that two people are needed to lift out of box. I will be extra careful.
Later.

Or cut open the tape/remove the staples from the bottom and lift the box up and off. It would require tilting to pull the flaps out and tuck them out of the way but that’s doable one person

He’ll need to keep the box intact for when it’s time to return it. Note that you should plan to keep your box as well when it arrives, as it’s required for a warranty return.

This is why I never would have done well in the military - I don’t do well following directions Heck, lots of times I don’t even read the directions 
My wife is gonna make me throw something out from the attic when I tell her I’m saving the shipping material. (One thing in, one thing out.)

Put blocks under the box to get it high enough, throw some plywood on top and use it as the Glowforge table.

I got a “Please confirm your shipping address” email today. It was very disappointing to find out it was just one of the KickStarters I backed months ago. Amazing how the GlowForge can put things into such perspective!

Hey @dan how big is the box? Trying to figure out if I will have problems with a couple of somewhat narrow doors…might have to unpack outdoors and then carry it in. I am putting a new door into the adobe wall, so entrance will go from 31" to a proper 36" door (frame was rotted anyways, so might as well spend a few extra bucks and enlarge the entrance…).
