Yes, I'm 14 years old. I'm hoping to get every thing I need(software wise) for under $1000. Yes, I plan to do CNC machining.....I don't have enough money to blow several hundred dollers on a program just to make cool designs(wish I did though).
"What is your exact direction when you say a "hobby" that you might someday turn into a buisness?"
Well, I got into machining through guns.....I'm real into firearms and I decided to see how people made them. When I get skilled enough, I would like to make my own firearms from scratch(that's the hobby part).
When I get even better, I would like to make after market parts for firearms such as AR-15's and other things that are aimed for the home gunsmithing industry(is that the right word?).
I also have a friend who is into paint ball.....he might let me know what the paintball guys want and I can make it and he can market it
.
We also have a place here(PM does as well) where people can request a quote...when I get better, I might be able to "bid" on some of those jobs(that's the business part).
Thanks again for the help.
