    Greetings from Sunny Dorset

    Hi folks,

    I was woodturning until a I managed to fall and trash my left wrist now looking for ways to control tooling and maybe branch out into other materials. I am a total noob where Mills and CNC are concerned, so be prepared for some dumb questions.

    Hi Tim, and welcome to the madhouse from sunny Norfolk.
    I'm just using age as my excuse to get into cnc, and the desire to start a new career at 70. I reckon I'm going for the ton, so I've only got 30 years to get my m/c finally built.
    Regards
    John
    It's like doing jigsaw puzzles in the dark.
    Enjoy today's problems, for tomorrow's may be worse.

    Ah the old age trick .....

    Hi John,

    Well you have a few years on me I must admit. I was medically discharged from the Royal Marines with a bug**red spine ... took up the wood turning as a 'beer money' hobby and to stop myself going insane. Then I go and mash my wrist. ended up having to be bolted back together again and not a lot of movement in it anymore. so I am back to square 1.

    I shall save a little, buy a bit, save some more etc. etc. but I hope to have something running before my bus pass is issued.

    I am looking forward to a lot of reading on here and I hope to pick some brains as well.

    Regards.

    Tim
