CNC: King of Tools (Ben Heck foreword)

If you like building things, it’s worth your time to learn all you can about CNC. For it truly is the king of tools.

Who wrote these amazing words? Not me… but Ben Heck! Why am I quoting him here on CNCKing.com‘s blog? Because that’s the final sentence of the foreword he sent to me to include in my latest book! Yeah… CNC books can have forewords too and I’m so happy Ben Heck agreed to write one! He’s a massive believer in the power of CNC machines and their ability to lift minds and spirits to new levels of creativity.

I never thought of it this directly but yeah… CNC machines really are the KING OF TOOLS in every sense of the word – great insight!

If you’re asking yourself “Who the heck is Ben Heck?” then you might remember him for his electronic wizardry that shot him to fame by making portable consoles out of such non-portable video platforms like the NES, Xbox360, PlayStation etc… I use to be a huge video game fanatic in my youth. He’s appeared in magazines such as Maxim (not the cover), Wired and a bunch more in addition to running “The Ben Heck Show” embed below. Do check it out, it’s quite neat stuff!

He really liked “CNCKing.com: Rise of the CNC” and like me, wished he had this YEARS AGO before he taught himself CNC machines among many other skills (we actually share a lot in common). If you want to read the whole foreword, it’s well worth it and the other 450 pages in my upcoming book aren’t bad either. I’m still gunning for late September launch… will be tough!
