Hi All

If you can't see what you are missing, then you are doing what you need.

Me, well....

1:Control freak
I design it, I make it, buck stops with me.

2:If I don't have to put one cent in a Chinese pocket, I will be very happy.
(very difficult, when soon my loaf of bread will come from there)
Have a long tumultuous history with them.

3: The engraver is at the Historical Village & Museum where I volunteer.
I do all the name badges and engrave items for sale by the museum.

4: Dates back to running a company involved in computerised weighing for 30 years, where the boards were drawn in autocad using poly lines and sent to local company.
20 years ago we had a single sided 20 bit A2D board, delivering 4000 samples per second,
weighing diamonds at 3 per second.

5: Once proficient, I can design and make a board in hours.

My wish:
To have a laser etching head for the engraver.
Look at some of the YouTube videos on this.
