Complete beginner

[cortina1975]

Hello all my name is Andrew and I am from Sydney NSW
I have been interested in machining ever since I stumbled upon model workshop engineer, since then my interst in machining has grown expodentially. Please forgive any spelling errors, English was never my strong point at school. ha ha....
Since then I have found sites on the net of miniture running engines
I am trying to learn enough to takle my own CNC, for trying to make my own one day

My hunger for knowledge grows the more I learn.

Now just for any other newbie's out there could some one please help me complete this list in order to build a cnc machine. What is needed
from my vage skimming of this awsome forum I have gathered this much
1) 3 or more axis of movment
2) 3 or more axis of power ie stepper motors or servos
3) 3 or more axis of control

Please help

P.S. If there is anyone out there that can teach/tutor/mentor/help please reply

I suggest you read through these threads first. This will give you and idea of what others have done. You will then start to get a better idea of the sort of machine you would like to build.
