I made the LED template, drilled all 64 holes with a 1/8" brad point bit. That made it really easy to get it centered on the grid.
I started soldering the LEDs together... man they are tiny. 3mm is a lot smaller than I thought and my fingers are not exactly small so its a little hard to work with. I've got 22 of the 64 LEDs in place for the first layer. Still have to figure out where I'm going to put the layers as I get them done. But I'm very happy with the progress I've made so far.
Ordered a Panavise 201 today, should have done that a long time ago but was just always too cheap to do it. Now I 'need' it in order to build this thing and the supporting equipment (USBTinyISP).
This is going to be one really fun project... wish you were here :)
