Let the games begin in Arizona City, AZ!

Ok, after spending about two weeks lurking and learning, it has become apparent that you guys have given me the virus/bug. (There should be a disclaimer somewhere warning people that everyone in this forum is infected with MM and currently there is no cure and they are under strick quarantine.) Anyway, I got it bad and ordered my laser cut parts from Mike(AKA MetalHead) today to build a 49" x 97" MM.

I'm a cabinetmaker/finish carpenter/general contractor in central southern Arizona. My shop is on my property and that is where the build will occur.

I am using VisualCADD for drawing and for my money it is the best 2D CAD program available. Besides having the easiest/fastest UI the CAD engine is fully programmical using C++,VB or Delphi. While the 'out of the box' version doesn't have CAM built in, if you can program (I do alot) then one could add that to its functions. For a demo go to www.tritools.com.

I have to budget this build based on the current US economy (it's not pretty being in construction right now) so I don't know how long it will take.

I hope to get to know more of you infecties as time goes on.

Steve

Welcome to the club. While MM is infectious, it is not debilitating (except to the checkbook, sometimes). Enjoy the build. We are looking forward to your pictures.
