Hi,
I'll tell you all about it in a few seconds, but first let me tell you a bit about myself... just so you know where I'm coming from...
Like I told you, my name is Alex Grayson. I work in the car industry as an engineer. I used to be the kind of kid that took apart his parents' TV just to see how it works... along with the toaster, the fridge, and anything else I could get my hands on.
I was surfing online... desperately searching for instructions to improve my woodcarving technique... and I stumbled upon a video of some guy using a machine to carve-out ultra-precise details into wood.
He called it a CNC machine and you can actually use it for any kind of woodwork.
After a bit of investigating I started figuring out how it works and the truth is: it's a pretty simple mechanism.
See... CNC stands for computer numerical control which basically means you punch some numbers into a computer and those numbers command the machine to move exactly how you want it...
In this case... it gives the machine the exact spots to carve onto.
It might sound complicated but it really isn't... imagine a sharp sculpting tool moving from front to back, left to right and up and down.
