Wow! Without a doubt the best thing I've ever seen. What an unbelievable achievement. Long-time fans of the channel will know that I've followed ‪@SpaceX‬ very closely for nearly a decade. To see them succeed up against such incomprehensible challenges is incredible. So inspiring!

★ New video tonight at 6pm BST. I share my thoughts and feedback about my experience with the xTool S1 40W. I completed a variety of tests and projects to give you a comprehensive idea of how the machine performs across different applications. Be sure to check out my video for an in-depth look at the machine and xTool's new software package.

Latest piece to come of the CNC machine. The Last Supper, Leonardo da Vinci. Carved into a beautiful piece of sustainably sourced beechwood. Rescued from the firewood pile, this slightly bowed piece has been transformed into something to be cherished. Finished with a single coat of Danish oil. #thelastsupper #davinchi #woodworking

Don't miss yesterdays video! I've just finished assembling the Z Axis, marking the completion of the machining and assembly of the major machine components. The only tasks remaining involve installing and aligning the linear rails for both the X and Y Axis. My reasoning for starting with the Z-Axis was to use it as a fixture to align the X linear rails, and eventually, the entire gantry will serve as a fixture to align the Y linear rails. There's very little left to do now, and I'll soon be installing the necessary hardware to get the machine up and running. For a more detailed update, you can find a video on my YouTube channel via the link below.
