Hello all!
My name is Marshall, I'm 21 years old with a fascination with fabrication and cnc work. R/c car and trucks were a big hobby of mine when I was younger. The fascination with how motors, machines, and all things mechanical started from when I was using Erector sets when i was young.
But sadly life got in the way and I had to grow up quickly and learn how to become an adult. Now his isn't a time for a sob story. Where I was getting to is that I don't have any experience with building fab work or cnc; I never had the resources or abilities to work with stuff like this. The most I got to was r/c trucks and planes.
I was very interested in the topics I was reading on the forums and was wondering if this could be a place to where I could start acquiring my building blocks to finally start working with my hands as a hobbyist and also for my career. I wanna be either a mechanical engineer or aerospace engineer as I'm starting classes next spring to further my education and do what I have always been fascinated with.
If this is not the place for me I completely understand, but I have been searching the internet and to find something along these lines is very rare.
If any of the veteran or even new members could help me and point me in the right direction to help me start learning the basic fundamentals or maybe give me stories of how you all got started it would be grateful.
I believe I have said enough in my introduction.
Please give me a shout! It's a pleasure to meet you all and hope to hear from you soon.
Have a great day everyone.
