Desk top CNC can be really useful, and fun. I've been playing with a Taig
CNC mill for about two years now, and I am in the process of accumulating
parts to make a slightly bigger mill type machine, and a much bigger CNC
router.

I made awards, and done engraving mostly, but close fitting one piece carved
boxes and some custom parts in aluminum have also made the grade along with
a number of plate / template type parts.

My biggest problem is keeping track of all the G-Code files I've written or
created and keeping the good ones straight from the experimental ones. No
point in rewriting some of them each time. Just pull up my file folder and
select.

You mean starting at the point where I give my wallet a spinal?

FIFTY SIX YEARS I've been waiting to say these words and actually mean
them: "Hey, cute baby!"

Sawdust burps on your shoulder are much nicer smelling and easier
cleaning than baby vomit, I'm sure.

I just browse it at Powell's in Beaverton.

Bummer. That's a long drive for me from Grass Pants.

I think you'd probably class it as still in the arts and crafts thing -

OK, nothing missed. Great for dads with kids.
