QUOTE

“the whole concept of CNC milling from a solid billet of aluminium – that was me being over-ambitious again…. I kind of like that and with the whole Class D thing we can get away with not having a lot of ventilation but to be controversial, I needed something my wife would be happy to have in the lounge room…” - Garry Wise
