Looking at the logistics of the following statement and taking that
designing probably also meant designing and making [ I hope ] we get the
following:-

>I spent 12 hours a day for two months designing a SIMPLE CNC machine.
>The Drawings alone are worth $20.

Taking a week as being 5 days, the average month has 22 working days.
Taking 22 days multiplied by two months gives us 44 days.
44 Days multiplied by the 12 hours gives us a total of 528 hours.
From previous posts on this group and RCM I take it that a below average
wage is around $10.00 per hour.
528 times $10..00 gives us $5,280.00

For this money a Sherline, Taig or Microkinetics machine can be yours, all
up and running delivered to your door and you still have change.
Also the $5,280.00 does not cover the cost of the software or parts.

DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB.
