Welcome Arty, I helped set up a training lab at Focus hope in Detriot. It's a lifeline to alot of inner city kids. They Teach Machining and Shop technology. You should these kids light up when they write programs and cut their first parts in Mastercam. You da man set the pace for these kids and blaze the trail. We are all behind ya!!! Rock on Bro.
