Well, it's not /that/ cool - and I suspect that you'd have altogether

I'm definitely intrigued with the possibilities. Though at the same
time I like to make things up as I go along, I think involving a CNC
would require more forethought and planning than how I like to work.

It does that - I enjoy producing the concept and imagining how something
can be made, and I (usually) enjoy the thing made - but as time passes
I'm coming to enjoy the making part less and less.

'Twas fun, tho, to mull through the geometry of cutting your bowl in a
single spiral pass with a round-nosed bit...

I found it interesting that Kevin and I both used the same inexpensive
trim router.

Not only is it inexpensive, but it includes the most wonderful aroma.
You just can't put a price on that, it nearly brought tears to my
eyes.

LOL They were on sale for $19.95 when I went for mine. I figured that at
that price I'd buy a second for when the first died...

....and thereby assured that the first will outlast me. The upside to the
CNC is that I don't have to get up close and personal with the the thing
- from 5 or 10 feet upwind it doesn't smell at all.
