Hi, My name is Alan from Leeds.
I retired a few years ago from my IT career and have since got back into my childhood hobby of electronics and computing. I have started to produce lighting features and electronic clocks using up-cycled items, materials and parts. For the things I make I need face plates and cases making, so interested in learning about machines that can cut and etch various materials, acrylic, traffolyte, engraving plastic, maybe even aluminium etc.
I am also interested in getting work made by others who have the machinery and expertise. I have a pal who has a nice big laser capable of doing all the acrylic stuff, but he doesn't have a rotary cnc, so no good for the metal, etc.
I am also interested to hear of people's experiences of the cheap Chinese machines for a few hundred quid.
Oh and finally - I am also into pinball, got 13 machines at home, ranging from 1970's electro mechanical, 80's solid state, 90's Classic era Dot Matrix Display machines and modern LCD machines too.
