I have made solid progress on my project. I purchased my wood at home depot yesterday, and need to cut it into slightly smaller pieces at home so I can fit it into the laser cutter. I also purchased the microphone that I will use to listen to my voice for the alexa app. I already have the raspberry pi and speaker that I will use, so this week I need to laser cut my wood and purchase the glue that I will use to adhere the two pieces of wood together
