is there a way to put this in fullscreen? Or is my browser disabling it? When I push fullscreen it's already green as if it's already selected.
I mean I have np watching it the way it is, but fullscreen would make it easier for me to see is all.

--edit--
nvm I just went to revision's site to watch in fullscreen. but still is fullscreen disabled when embeded?

I know what tools Ben uses to build the cnc machine, but what materials does he use? Is there a list somewhere?
