Hello eveyone, newie with a spindle and nothing else

If your other half has access to a large cnc and can cut most of your parts then you are in a good position to build your own.

It will take sustained effort and a good bit of time but it’s not as "rocket science" as you might think.
Pick a build log that you like and kick off by drawing up your machine, this effort will not be wasted as you will need to do lots of drawing to make your parts when the time comes to try to squeezing some cash back out of your machine.

If you are prepared to absorb lots of information and you have a bucket of gumption you can get the job done and you will know your machine inside out

It won’t cost you anything to draw up a machine and do some costing’s, by the time you are ready to start spending money you should have an idea of how much blood and snot its all going to entail :)
