I was working in a pub at 14 - Birmingham was a different place then haha

If they're anything like the machines we use, we can design the object in CAD, then the program works out the toolpaths and sends it straight to the cnc machine. I could watch milling machines all day long :)

I should put some away now then ready for when I retire :D
