So; as ive been busy for the past four months building a cnc machine.... Havent had much chance for much else...

All through the build friends and family have asked me... so what are you going to use it for? My answer has remained.. 'I dont know yet'

On arrival home from work, the misses once again asked me to do a job Ive said id get round to for the past few months...

1) put a 'latch' on a door my little lad keeps opening.

So I got my latch... and as with all DIY, It was never that simple.. it needed 'padding' out for the catch to work.

Normally at this point, Id get all f*cked off, go down the workshop and hack a bit of plastic or wood etc and it would look sh*te

but now... my friends :D Ive got C N C
