I wonder if open source tools like the http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Torch_table will eventually, with adaptation and simplification, be able to deal with a boatload of plywood and 2x4s. (A torch-table per boatload, that is.) "Hey, just cut roughly half the panels through the diagonal, trim the points and signal where the blocks and holes will go, and pass that on to teams." The Chinese said it starts with a small step. They didn't say it _continues_ with small steps too.
