Hello everyone! I am exited to join this community! I have worked for a furniture manufacturing business for the past 21 years and love anything CNC machining or CNC programming related. I have spent most of my past 10 years focused on perfecting CNC files and programming new products to run on the companie's 5' x 10' Onsrud CNC's. I enjoy the process of 3D modeling new products in SolidWorks and then applying tool paths to them in Alphacam but recently I bought my own CNC and quit my job to focus on my home business (Accurakit LLC ) with my wife and 9 children. I enjoy the product designing part of the business but the reason for joining this community is to better understand marketing and product pricing. I have started an Etsy shop (Accurakit) the beginning of this year and have had some success but now am realizing my need for a better understanding of marketing.

started small now it pays my bills Three months ago, I had no idea my online store would be making $25k in sales. I just decided to start even though I knew nothing about. building brand Most people wait until everything feels perfect before they start… but the truth is, clarity comes from doing. What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to start but kept delaying because it didn’t feel perfect yet?

I’m Ryan, the founder of this group and a passionate CNC entrepreneur. I’m super excited to have you all here. This community is all about helping each other grow, learn, and create with CNC machines—whether you’re just starting or looking to take your skills to the next level. Here’s a little about me: - I’ve been working with CNC machines for 10 years, building a business and helping others do the same. - My favorite thing about CNC is turning a simple design into a product that people love. - Fun fact: I love Bourbon and Tequila, and have over 100 bottles in my collection/stash Now it’s your turn! In the comments, let us know: - Your name and where you’re from - What stage are you at in your CNC journey (just starting, hobbyist, business owner, etc.)? - What you’re most excited to create or learn with CNC - A fun fact about yourself! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing what amazing projects we’ll create together!
