I've cut plenty of things on my machine, but this is the first time I've used the whole tool chain from start to finish. I've got almost a year in the machine at this point and still a few months to go before I call it done (even though I'm sure it will always be a work in progress as I want to add more stuff).

I've got a dust collection system but I took it off for this video. My sister wanted me to make a video explaining the really high level concepts so she could show her friends. That's why I did the intro part with the simulation and the screen shot of the gcode.

I welcome any comments or suggestions. I am still new to CAM and machining in general so if you see something I could improve I would definitely appreciate the advice.
