Wow, what a nice accomplishment! Kudos!

• “It takes about 2 hours to boot to bash prompt”
• “The raw video is in a few segments, since I had to change camera batteries a few times while filming.”
• “For commercial use, talk to me, and we’ll agree on something”.

These kind of projects are a joy to follow along, and the writing is very smooth and interesting, with just enough detail but not too much.

Some other projects that I admire in this vein of using the axiom - anything can be made to compute anything:

• With marbles and wood, (video)
• With dominoes
• Wooden Turing complete machine
• Megaprocessor - It’s made of transistors. Literally.

This is awesome. When you want something hard enough, sometimes it just takes time.
