However, I'm not sure there is a 65 year old "nerd" or a "geek". I'll have to think on this one. One thing for sure, that micro mill I built works and does a great job, even if I did write all my software, built all my hardware, including every part in the mill and the electronics to power the servos from a thirty year old computer. I think this sounds more like a "nerd" rather than a "geek". Whatever it's considered, there really is not any money spent on this build except for the DB9 connectors used in the build. Danged near everything was just "stuff" I have accumulated over the years. Should I build another one, I would have to spend some money. I don't have the steel for the frame and base to build another one. I do have most of the little pieces needed. This thing is heavy with steel.
