With (for instance) CNC machinery, 3D Solid Modelling software and new technologies such as Rapid Prototyping becoming more affordable & commonplace, Engineering can be quite exciting sometimes. It's a pity Engineering has an unglamourous image here in the UK and there's so little money in it. We're lucky to make £30/hr on machinery which costs £250,000 to buy and a fortune to keep running. I don't know what it's like elsewhere in the world.

I've often thought about building my own CNC Mill but it's too big a project for me at the moment. I might just have to save my pennies (or win the Lottery) so that I can buy some of this stuff. It's my dream to have somewhere large enough (funds allowing) to have my own CNC machine shop (I used to be a CNC Programmer/Setter) and rapid prototyping machine(s) and lots of lovely 3D Solid Modelling & CAM software ... maybe one day...

Getting back to reality though the photos of the Fascias that CruzThs has done look pretty good. That software he's using looks very good for the money too. Anyway, that's enough of my ramblings...
