CNCKing.com Volume IV: Rise of the CNC / table of contents
I was reminded today at how much has changed in the CNC world talking to a potential business partner in China and Japan – yeah… opportunity is really global! When I first started making these books and designs five years ago… it was a niche of a niche… now, it seems that CNCs are EVERYWHERE!
After having the book edited YET AGAIN to make sure there are as few mistakes as possible – both technical and grammatically, I’m happy to share with you guys the table of contents and the front/back cover. There will ALWAYS be mistakes in any book, especially one of this scale in both words and page count but I’ve delayed this book over a month just to make sure as many are found and corrected as possible.

I’ll be ordering the physical proof of the book this coming week… massive book and I actually had more content but that will have to wait for Volume V in a year or two from now. Here is the finished front and back cover! As for release date, at this point I’m still looking at the end of the month. I’m debating whether offering the digital version before the printed one as that will be locked-in within a few days.
So happy to see such a massive endeavor finally coming to fruition after two years of work!
