    There are some recipes on line for home-brewed machinable wax, one involves Paraffin Wax, old carrier bags and an old deep fat fryer, must try it some time :D
    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D

    I think these waxes and foams are a great idea to test out tool paths on a complex piece before risking it on the real thing. They are not cheap though...
