I've always wanted a CNC mill, so now I'm building one.
This episode dives head first into the fabrication and machining of my heavy-duty DIY CNC milling machine, with a splash of paint at the end.

Hey I haven’t been watching your channel for very long so I don’t know your core audience but I feel like a “making a cnc with a cnc” video would be very amusing and help people without your tools or machining ability rent out a cnc to build their own cnc.
