New here - Hello!
Hello and introduction..
I have been a tinker-er for all my life. I love cnc machines and love retrofitting old solid iron. We have a K&T NC machine from the 60's, Matsuura from the 80's, Mazak from the 80's still with its mazitrol t2 control, Cincinnati nc in the que for conversion.. I am a Linuxcnc advocate and love the software/hardware solution. I usually make random videos of what I am working on. Low production quality. 'git er done' style.
Examples... Video when we got the K&T retrofitted..

Latest project.. (small cnc dubbed the green machine)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2BGYOcmC4w
Random machining content...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZI7Q7O_PcY
Check out the other videos.. (again - marginal quality..)
Hope to contribute!

Welcome to the group!

Welcome and thanks for sharing. Is this your home shop? Is this just a hobby or do you make money doing it?

Re: New here - Hello!
It is mostly a hobby shop. Mostly my dad's retirement sanity...
I use the access for my own tinkering.

Re: New here - Hello!
Some one PM'ed me and asked why skunkworks and if I had anything to do with Lockheed....
Sadly - it isn't as exciting as that.
In my younger years I had a dodge stealth twin turbo.. I was always tinkering - bigger turbos, yada yada yada.. My freinds started calling my skunkworks because of A) I owned a stealth and B) I was always tinkering quietly away...
