I've been gradually putting together a small hobby and craft shop.

So far I've added

• Shapeoko 2 with the quiet spindle
• printrbot simple metal
• K40 laser (currently in pieces)
• Taig cnc mill (also in pieces)
• MicroMark 7x16 lathe
• Klic'n'Cut Zinger (2d paper cutter for crafts)
• Kiln (for metal clay)
• Plus all the standards (Dremel, drill press, etc).

Projects

• Learning to make circuit boards on the Shapeoko
• Toys for the grand kids
• Polymer clay (easy, low cost, fun)

Platforms

• Windows 8.1 (general purpose, vm's)
• Windows 7 (for the printrbot and shapeoko)
• Windows XP (for the laser cutter)
• Beagle Bone Black (trying to figure how to get the PRU to work).
• Raspberry Pi (too many usb wires)
• Arduino (lots, many different versions)
• Papillio (gotta keep those verilog skills, such as they are, up to date).

Needed

• Time
• More room to put the toys (I mean tools)
• cyclone dust collector
• enclosures

Blessings

• An understanding and patient wife
