[Swansea Hackspace] CNC Mill Progress

[Emyr Morris]

I will be going to my dad's in west wales in a few weeks time, he has a
shed and a garage full of board, if you have not found anything by then let
me know and I will bring back a few pieces. He has good quality ply,
chipboard, mdf, everything you can imagine being a hoarder and a carpenter
;-)

So it won't be this weekend but the weekend after... maybe having a few
spare boards won't hurt anyway
