  I am not sure if I am ready for this or not, so here goes. 
I found this group through the Sherline group down the hall. I am a
true hobbist beginner at machining. I am 31 and have no machining
experience. I have a standard #2000 mill, and have made a few things
so far. I do a fair amount of woodworking, and thought I would enjoy
working with metal. The main reason I got the mill was to mill on
paintball gun bodies and make small parts. I have done a few for
myself and friends.
I have quickly learned that having CNC capacity would be better for
the end result I am looking for, BUT I know very little about
machining and even less about CNC. I am no dummy, but act like one
most of the time. I would like to know what I would need to look
into to get started. Drives? Computer requirements? Software? I
don't expect you to get me going tomorrow, just point me in the right
direction. I know that would save me a lot of time, and also let me
know if I can handle it or not.
I am sure questions like these come by all the time, but I went
through several posts and could not find any.
Thanks for your help,
Jasson Thomley
