Hi EddyCurrent.

Thank you for your input.
Building and repairing guitars, is to me an hobby. I also play Both Electric and Bass guitars. I do it because I like it, and at my age (77 y.o.) starting to suffer with Arthritic in my hands, it became obvious to me that if I wanted to carry Building guitars (repairing guitars does not need has much handwork as building from scratch) I would have to have a machine to help me or find another hobby.

At 77 it is a bit old to start a fresh, so after a long period of thought, I decide on a CNC machine, as I have previously stated I built a small Milling machine and converted that to CNC control (Mach3) some 20 years ago, I thought, what could be more difficult? I know now I was wrong. The world of CNC as moved on quiet a bit since those days.

I do not want to give up my hobby, so I started looking for used machines, you can find more "Rockinghorse Shit" than you can find used CNC routers, as for new ones, it became obvious to me earlier on on this journey, that I, as a pensioner, could not afford to by a machine that would suit my needs (I have seen many, or most over £1000.00) so I thought, surely I have the skills to build my own. As previously stated, I am a Time Served Tool Maker, with a fair knowledge of electrics, but needs an helping hand with the said Electrics/Electronics, at least if I built my own, with the help of Like minded people such as yourself, I could do this more cheaper, and get satisfaction knowing that I built it.

Your help is much appreciated.

Regards.
