I will happily watch it. Titan has (had?) some Tormach machines, so he likely already has (had?) LinuxCNC in house. With his zoo of machines, and his interest in education and "doing stuff here" (which is "there" for me), there should be a nice story that has not yet been told too often that you can implement with LinuxCNC in an easier way than with current closed-source controllers. That should make an interesting LinuxCNC-promoting video for him (and us).
Rough ideas: * cutting gears with a CNC at weird places that would be difficult to reach with traditional gear cutters * integrating a camera into a machine that was bought without one * integrating a robot/pneumatics/... into a machine that was bought without * a portable CNC for repairs in the field (like moon, mars or some ship on our own planet) that has an integrated temperature sensor/camera to compensate for variations in temperature * using the same controller for something completely different, like distinguishing your cat from the neighbour's cat to decide if the cat door should open.
