There is no such thing as problem that money can't solve. You just don't have enough money.

Just like the story with Frank Lucas.

It'll be interesting to see the video that Gamers Nexus will be releasing in a few days that may have some related content about this.

He is mixing something biological, digital, analogue, as well as combining wood working and 3d printing. There isn't much to say except to just watch the video. Very well done.
