here it is.
i can't convey the sense of satisfaction from watching it move on its own.

still dry running, no torch attached yet. two axis, X/Y. 500oz-in steppers with timing belts. gantry weighs approximately 15lbs. i'm getting 5000 mm/min with no problems.

struggling with the Gcode a bit. using sheetcam. can't seem to get my torch control right. its either on all the time (cutting even during rapids), or doesn't turn on at all, depending on which post-processor i used in sheetcam.

two pix attached.

extremely grateful for everyone's help so far.
