I am afraid I don't have much of a background in machining, CNC or manual. But I am really enjoying it from the bit of exposure I have had and I am definetly willing to put in the time and effort to get better.
In the coming fall I have enrolled in an CNC Intro course to teach me the basics of G Code. So I am hoping that will help me out a little bit.

It seems I have worlds of information I need to learn.
Thanks Geof I will definetly check those out. (And I'm afraid I've tried the service industry and I must say it dosen't suit my taste. Starbucks will just have to do without another barista to lay off

).
