I just stated last semester i was going to take mastercam x5 class this summer but not enough people signed up so they cancelled the class.
As soon as i learn it i will help no problem. I always want to take pics as i build something but i always forget but i will try this time as i know it will help others.

that's great about the schooling and your desire to post this project
I can help point you in the direction of a lot of free or low cost softwares i use that do everything i have needed so far if your interested. check out this thread http://www.hobby-machinist.com/showthread.php/6661-D2nc-software-for-hobby-cnc?p=57800#post57800 this works from inside mach3 and is really handy many options for only $70.00 with free upgrades. I started drawing, making g-code and running it in mach3 before my machine was built for practice.
I'm wondering if this thread should be moved to the cnc section so it's easier for other's to find?
