Yah, that's true. In many ways a kit is more attractive to me personally than a pre-built. Why? Because I _love_ making things. It's why I'm on this group (among others). If I _had_ to make parts, or if I had to make parts _right_now_, or if I didn't want to invest any emotional energy, then I'd buy a pre-built machine. But none of those are true! I want to bring my grandparents down into my basement and say 'see, I built that . . .' (they'll never know I cheated and used a kit, right?) I'm after the visceral pleasure of making a machine come alive with my own hands. I don't have the time to design this machine myself, so I'd love to have a kit. I don't want to skip the pleasure and just go right to a finished product either. So the kit is the way to go for me. Anyway, if I build a kit and can't get it to work and get totally frustrated, but have a huge pent up desire to make parts, I'd probably break down and buy a pre-built. So it's good to know one's options. *Brian -- -----Original Message----- From: Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of derekhawkins Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 7:08 AM To: Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Wooden CNC router >So spending $900 for a kit This is real and not a kit; http://maxnc.com/page12.html --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, "Brian Schmalz" <brian.s@...> wrote: > Be sure to visit the group home and check for new Links, Files, and Photos: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs If Files or Photos are running short of space, post them here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs_Archives/ Yahoo!
