    New to CNC - Looking for projects

    I just recently completed a retrofit on a small (4"x6" area) cnc milling machine. If you have any small, relatively simple parts that you're looking to have made let me know. At the moment I'm really looking for experience and not trying to make any money. Just want to get a feel for what it's like to machine parts for someone other than myself. If you've got something you're not in a hurry for, let me know. I'll be happy to try to make it. If it turns out OK, pay me for the material. If not, I'll eat the material cost. I prefer to work with aluminum. Not looking to do any volume production. Really just trying to get familiar with going from drawing stage to completed parts. So, if you've got some random part that you're not in a hurry for, send me a PM.

    We'll see. Hopefully so. That way I can choose some of the easy stuff first.

    I'm actually kind of surprised I've gotten no response to this.

    The economy is real bad. I think the next step is to offer to PAY someone to
    work for them.
