Hey gang! My name is Hank…I’m a product designer and developer from Pittsburgh. This is my first venture into CNC, and I’m excited to learn. If you’d like to know any/everything else check out my Instagram! @iamhankodonnell
Looking forward to getting to know you all. 
My Nomad ships this week! (woo)

Welcome Hank! It’s surely a good community, I spend nearly as much time on this forum as on my machine it’s great!
Don’t listen to him! RUN! They’re all crazy people here, run before they suck you into the madness! It’s too late for me, SAVE YOURSELF! Ia, ia, Ctharbid Ftaghn!
…what? Still here? Well, if that didn’t scare you off, might as well pull up a chair and join the cult. 
Hello Hank,
Are you still using your Shopeoko? and What advice might you give to someone that is going to purchase a shapeoko?
The community has some notes at:

If you’d let us know what sort of work you wish to do and how you wish to approach it we’d gladly help.
Thanks for the reply. I am looking to start with the basics and start with doing names on wood of various sizes.
I hate to ask this but where and how to I post an original post.? Currently all I see is how to reply
