I’ve been working on my CNC mill over the past month. It’s based on a small manual mill made by Proxxon. I have 3 nice unipolar stepper motors, one on each axis. The motors are controlled by 3 L297s from ST Micro (these are REALLY amazing by the way…) to 12 TIP102 transistors used as ground side switches. This board is then hooked to the parallel port of my laptop, running EMC2 on a real-time kernel. What does all this mean? I can now take a CAD/CAM model and have a part of it, all with tools in my room. Now THAT is cool. 
Also, I finally got pics and video of the new capacitor bank up. Be sure to check out the CNC Mill and the Capacitor Array!
