Hi Brian, lovely engraving, I know what cnc stands for but I don't know what kind of machine you have, could you explain for an idiot please ? !
Regards Terry
Hi Terry.
I have the small desktop cnc machine cheap Chinese import, works fantastic for what I do with it.
I did start a website about it but the spammers got in and wrecked it so I closed membership and it has become a forgotten project.
Click me to see my actual machine and the forgotten website.

Bloody cheeky git init?

I did a wedding set for a friend's son a few weeks ago, it seems he married the daughter of a Hatton Garden Jeweller who was taken with the set and wants to see more.
He sent a large chunk of Mahogany yesterday and asked if I would make a trophy stand for his Golf day in March, mount a trophy and put some engraving on it.
He has asked about letter knifes, pens and magnifying glasses, it looks like word is getting around.
We have a meet at his golf club setup for Thursday this week so have to get my skates on and show him something init?

That was a total waste of time, typical London Jew.
Posh golf club wouldn't take my cash for a coffee, everything had to go on his account so I got nothing.
He wanted to buy for pennies and sell for pounds, he liked my samples and was keen to do business but no way could we agree on prices.
He can poke his trophy where the sun don't shine too.
Flash bats. Flash car, showing off all the designer labels on his gear, wouldn't give the skin off his rice pudding.
I don't do business with rats like him don't matter how much I need the work.

Take a guess
Good for you Brian, pointless working for nothing whilst making another rich.
I'm sure with your talents more opportunities will arise.

Give it him back, but charge the bugger for your time and expertise in the evaluation of its qualities and suitabilities.
