My new machine - Guess the make!

Looks good Mark, for the long job's If you don't want to run for long periods you have a couple of options.

#1 Put the machine into "feed hold" turn the spindle off and leave the PC switched on overnight. Just remember to switch the spindle back on before resuming from "feed hold"

#2 Put into feed hold, take a note of line number then you can shut down PC and do a "Run from here" when you restart. The work offset will automatically be saved by UCCNC and after homing the machine the "run from here " will get you back into position.

In both cases, it's a good idea to "feed hold" when the code is doing move off the material ie: G0 move. This way it won't leave a tool mark on the material when the spindle starts back up. However, if you can't catch it in a G0 move then do it in an area where it's easily sanded or won't show.
It's also a good idea to do the "run from here" a few lines back from the actual line number it stopped on, this way it will help blend in any tool marks.

My preferred option would be "run from here" because you can spread large jobs over a few days and it's a lot less stress on the machine, spindle, tooling, dust extractor and PC.
