Hi and welcome. There is a fledgling CNC forum here that was started around a month back.

Welcome!

He’s the new guy that bought stuff 3 weeks ago perspective. I bought a kit from amazon, a granite block from grizzly, and a single vegetable tanned shoulder from eBay. I’ve been happy with what I got for all 3. I’ve made 2 sheaths so far and am pleased with both. The amazon tools are functional...
