Support skeleton

Here's the latest update in the fabrication process. I've included some images (I apologize for the low quality) that show the completed skeleton standing. All the drawer slides and support spines are mounted and functioning. The acrylic skins are currently being constructed. A internal mount was engineered that allows the cubes to attach to the support spines and are balanced adequately. The total weight was a surprise, but with additional bracing should be well supported. My estimations for the final weight including acrylic skins will be @350Lbs. Depending upon the presentation space, balance and support can be modified to accommodate.
