Did I hear BANJO!? :-) I've built banjos for several years now. I don't have a CNC machine yet but when I do I'll use it for some of my banjo work. I'm currently working for CandCNC (www.candcnc.com) part time putting together, testing, and repairing all our CNC electronics. I helped with the design for our latest pendant and wrote all the firmware and the Mach3 plugin for it. We currently only support Mach3 but I'm hoping to get some time to work on EMC (I've been a linux guy for about 8 years now) and get our products working with it (some work already but others will need some extra work). I'm still a little wet behind the ears though at 31 :-) Moses McKnight www.mcknightinstruments.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
