Mach4 General Discussion / Re: New people welcome !! Come in here and introduce your self!

Hi --
I got introduced to our company's CNC router under what turned out to be rather sad circumstances; as I just was starting to learn to us it, our owner and primary user of the CNC machine found he had terminal cancer and has since left us. In the last month of his active life I took a raft of notes and learned something of what he knew, but there continue to be gaping holes in my knowledge.
The company I work for makes musical instruments -- concertinas -- and we are using the CNC router for some of the parts. I've got a background in software, but I'm really enjoying a second career where I get to use little tools I made myself out of paper clips and odd chunks of wood with nails stuck in and bits of leather and scrap pieces of spring steel. So I was rather dragging my feet about getting involved with computers all over again, until it became necessary.
