Hopefully I'll learn something about the cnc and I'm hoping that the laser cutter doesn't make me want one (more than I do now)

You might want to brief the CMM Paul.
The laser cutter we will be using was £24000. as new!
I did look into getting something similar, recently.
With extraction (a must) + VAT and a software and hardware, it came in at about £8000:whistling:

Geez Neil, I think I'd better not see it. She'll divorce me....


Wait a minute... I can get a machine and no CMM.... All the cave time I want.

I've asked her about it and apparently they won't allow you to use them in hospital :funny:

Oh dear you too ? Yes many men find operating a washing machine to be too complicated , especially nowadays when they have so many buttons. ( have you noticed men's power tools mostly have only an on and off button !) the laundering process is now further complicated by the issue of temperature . Should you wash at 30 degrees , 40 degrees, 50 degrees or 90 degrees? How to assemble a correct load without dying your favourite white kelvins pink ( unless of course they are already pink or that's the desired effect) Then there are dozens of different materials to sort , for Gods sake check the percentage of flexible polyurethane elastic in your favourite spandex all in one or you'll ruin it for life! Then there's the washing powder, well I say powder, you might want to consider gel, tablets, sachet, capsules or liquid. BUT , do you want biological ,non biological or perhaps a colour care type?
Now we come to the subject of fabric conditioners, scented or non scented, liquid , capsule or sheet, OR should you have chosen a detergent COMBINED with fabric conditioner ? .... Now for all those buttons , pre wash at 90 degrees pre wash at 40 degrees, white cotton, colourfast cotton,non colourfast cotton,coloured synthetics,acrylics, wool, silk quick wash or rinse hold? THEN spin speed (ah! something familiar).. 400 , 600, 800, 1000 or1200 rpm OR .... Wash by hand .!!!!
I can see why you asked !

What's a washing machine :nooidea:

I just leave my dirty clothes on the bathroom floor & overnight they make their own way back into the wardrobe cleaning themselves on the way. Aren't all clothes like this :idontknow:
