hi rob, like you im gonna start a mini build of my own, i have a good sense of what my m/c will look like but i aint got a clue about the hardware or software side of it, (pretty sad when i've been a cnc miller for 8yrs now).

i was watchin youtube an seen the cnc router carving a tigers head an that was it, i was hooked on 3d cutting, its been my life long dream for the last 2 weeks now lol

anyways, wish you all the best an make sure you let us know your progress
