Minecraft and Planes.

I'm thinking about doing a Minecraft LP. Should I do it? Raise your hand if you would watch it. If I get 5 hands then I'll do it.
Also, my friend and I started working on a plane. It's a Sopwith Camel model with a 3 foot wing span. He wanted to do an "oldschool biplane," and I've actually been wanting to do a biplane for a while, so we picked that one. The scale is because I already have machinery and electronics to fit a plane that scale, since that was about the size of the plane that I built for my senior project which is now totaled beyond repair.
We started working on it on Sunday. I drew up an airfoil and cut out a template, then traced and cut out the first wing rib, which probably took like 25 minutes total. Then I was like "great, we only need 31 more of those," and he was a bit distressed, but I was just like that's why it takes so long, because you have to make every single piece yourself. So after about 2 hours of cutting out wing ribs, we got about 20/32 done. I'm still half expecting him to give up, but my optimism is growing.
