[General] the milling machine

[Stephan Henning]

Cool, I'd love to see them.

I'm looking forward to getting all of my random 'hobby' stuff out of
storage after we buy a house in the next month or so, looking forward to
working on the mill.

I'm curious if anyone has ever considering teaching a class on 'Design for
Manufacturability'? Could actually turn it into a series as it applies to
electronics and mechanical design.
