OakRidgeguy,
I am new to the forum but not new to homebuilt CNC and I live in Lenoir City actually just off the I-40/75 junction. I'm not sure about the protocol for off-forum communication but I would be happy to give you a tour of my shop and show and tell my CNC projects which include a DM4 Sherline CNC teaching mill, a watchmakers lathe, a Harbor Freight 7x10 lathe, a 9x20 jet lathe, a millrite vertical mill and soon to be a Monarch 10ee.
Not sure about how to communicate personal Emails, phone numbers etc. but we would probably have a great visit.
Cecil
