I've come a long way from the work I've done at SMV (sounds familiar?), and this video is what started my machining journey. There are many different skills, and a lot of safety factors that go into machining, and these two basic pieces really gave me the fundamentals to be able to create more difficult parts.
Machining is also very important to a designer. I know that I have to decide on certain things that I can and cannot design due to machining restrictions. As scuh, this is another core aspect to being able to create bigger products in the future, and as always, I take it one step at a time!
