Donna’s CNC carving journey
Earlier this year Donna brought her desktop CNC machine into TAP lab to get some help getting it working. Donna’s husband Bill was a very talented wood carver and had bought it to help lessen his workload as he was getting older. Unfortunately he had died before getting it running.
