This guy made a homebrew bench top CNC mill from parts he found on
ebay.

While I admire his skill, and dedication, I cannot help but wonder if
he directed his efforts in the best direction possible.

Hey, it's a hobby, as he pointed out. You probably would scratch your head
over the filled-cork grips I make for my flyrods, too. I could buy them for
peanuts. Instead, making one takes me several hours of enjoyable, but
cost-ineffective work. g


I enjoy making things at work to get a work cell up and running. I don't care for making
a 2-4 dollar part that takes 40-80 dollars of my labor because I don't have it in stock.
