Hello all,
I am Shannon, a 20 year old mechanical engineering student and i love to tinker around with everything. I have worked in machine shops in the past and have 7+ years of machining experience(i was trained very young =] ) on metal mills and lathes.
I have always wanted to have a mill of my own. I recently came across the carvewright/compucarve and fell in love.
I have some extra money available from my student loans and am thinking about buying a machine. BUT before a college student should drop that much money... this is a HUGE investment for me... I want to know that it can do what i want it to.
I was wondering if any of the members of this forum would be willing to mail me samples of one of their lithograph pieces. I am most interested in these pieces and i think i need to see one up close before i take the financial plunge. i would be willing to pay postage, and i can send it back to you when im finished checking it out.
If anyone has any advice or ideas I would love that as well.
Thank you all.
