I Would love a metall CNC, but i am now focused on building a
3d-printer for abbenay and for myself. with one built you can use it
to build some of the parts used in building them. I'm considering
either a darwin or a hegel. I am also willing to buy some of the
parts since i catually earn money. My brother (who is also an
architect) is also interested in getting one built for him, so this
project is something i will most likely be able to do especially with
some help, are you willing to join me in building it with me ged?

That is great will you be there this thursday, so we can discuss the
layout of the planned (well sort of) workspace at UFS? I consider the
workspace the highest priority project as of now?
