The machine that started it all is on its way to its new home in EVGA land. This machine has seen it all from the very first SR2 & X58 Micro blocks, to the ASRock Extreme 11 waterblocks (and countless projects in between). She started off life as a manual machine with a 7" x 3" work envelope that grew into a CNC with an 12 x 8 work envelope. She has made her poppa proud, and I wish her the best of luck in her new home!

Ah, quite the milestone. At least there's no milling about for that one.

Yep, it'll be handy to use my CAD/CAM/CNC machining skills in my own shop now. We were working together on another CNC project when this option came up awhile back and I went for it.

They called this morning and they scheduled a delivery for tomorrow. Not used to FedEx calling me before a delivery. Must be a freight thing.

Yeah, This happened to me with UPS Freight... I had a delivery date on a Friday, They called me and arranged delivery for Monday.... So the date they give you is the date they will CALL you to arrange delivery... Weird huh?

Lets just say I will be accepting a shipment of my own pretty soon. Something I have always wanted, and just didn't feel like building myself ;)

A Porsche Brad?! really?! Must be nice ;)
I am just glad they didn't try to hose you for the rest. It was over 100 lbs more then what i claimed. Glad we elevated it though and got them to honor the old claim. Since all the extra weight of the tool plate, and the other cross slide vise didn't help.

Yep, you see the go-kart. The thing really is a PITA to sit down in. Feels like you're sitting on the ground. It's fun to drive though.
Yep, no issues other than the two that delivered it were freaking out about the F-84F in the back yard. They had me open up the cockpit and nose around it for 15 minutes instead of unloading. *chuckle*
