Just a brief introduction. My name is Neil and I am just starting a build of a CNC router. Progress is ok considering I only get about 3-4 hours a week to play in my workshop. I have lots to do, but am not in a rush because I want to enjoy the build rather than get frustrated because I have not achieved an arbitrary deadline that I set myself!

I have had my workshop for a year and it is the best thing I have ever done. I used to make stuff when I was much younger but didn't have a lot of kit so had to be creative using my pillar drill for everything. Now I have a mill, lathe and assorted tools to help.

Great hobby for me and I would like to get my sons inspired so that they don't turn into vegetables staring at smarthphones instead of creating things. May lose that battle, but I am trying.

Well, not much more to say at this point although I will be posting a question regarding spindle choice as that is next on my shopping list.

Cheers,

Neil.
