yes Kudo's to Kerry ... I found the article inspiring .. we are a relatively new cabinet shop finding ways to compete in a crowded market. Ecabinets has given us an advantage and is becoming a major part of our building system.. change is a good thing and we are trying to run on the leading edge of our industry .. that takes time and money .. the cnc machine is very high on our list of needs. Kerry's article has gotten me reading the forum and I will certainly be making use of it in the future. I have posted one question .. answered quickly and solved my problem. Just reading the forum has solved many of my frustrations with Ecabinets. I have learned that im way underpowered for Ecabinets as far as my puter goes so thats getting upgraded. thanks again Kerry .. change is good .. it keeps us on our toes and learning is what keeps us young.
Thanks Robert,
Do try to get a computer that meets the suggested requirements. eCabinets is an important tool and that will be money well spent. You will find that you can never have too much computer.

Kerry .. i have ordered the system that Ecabs suggests .. less the fx4500 graphics card .. thats a little pricey for me .. im getting the fx quadro 560 with 128 mg ram for now .. maybe later i'll upgrade ... lessons are high on my list of things to do too .. but for now i learn like i always have ... by doing ...

I guess I should stop whining. Got my magazines (10x) today, as a result of Thermwood being kind enough to picture some of my work. All I can say is wow! And, of course, thanks. This will be a great sales tool, and I even have enough copies to give to each of my guys who worked on the project. (And keep one for myself.)
As usual I enjoyed both Kerry's and Dan's columns, and Ken's as well. Funny how some of the 'research' I've been putting off in regards to taking the leap and actually buying a machine has been done for me, and sent right to my door. Especially the 'Can I Afford a CNC Router?' article.
Thanks again Thermwood for all that you do for us little guys.
