You can build your own CNC with very basic tools, little knowledge of machinery, mechanics, or electronics, but be warned, these machines are inherently dangerous, so wear the proper protection and use common sense. At the very least, read the instructions and precautions on every tool you use.

I love making beeps and bloops with the Arduino pitches library, but sometimes archaic 8-bit tunes just don't cut it.

With trial and error, some of your airplanes might do flips, fly in circles, or come back and poke you in the eye, but luckily this airplane doesn't have a sharp tip. Wa...
