CNC Machine v1.2 Kit Assembly Videos Released

If you enjoy the antics of the family chaotically trying to assembly the CNC Machine, or you just want to know how to do the assembly, watch the videos. My wife tries to do it, but I think she better at filming the process. :)

Demonstration of the CNC Ver. 1.2 Kit

There have been a few requests for a demonstration of the new CNC Router Kit Ver. 1.2.

The video is sped up so a majority of the cutting can be shown. Enjoy the video and as always, give me some feedback.
