There aren't any exit holes in the back of the cab (thank goodness) But the door windows are shot. Literally . There's almost nothing left of either one. We think someone shot at the windshield at an angle, and it shot the side glass out. My dad and I both think it's the rifle, because the hole doesn't seem nearly big enough.

That's something our teachers have repeatedly stressed, and I believe I have a grasp of it. Considering when other kids need help, I'll explain it all to them: "no, the mill can only move in 3 directions. You'd have to turn the part on it's side if you want to engrave your name."

Our High School has 2 CNC 3 axis HAAS TM-1 mills, 2 HAAS CNC lathes, a plasma cutter, a CNC router, and someone just donated a Bridgeport. I'm pretty excited about that, now I can learn to machine without having to look at a damn computer screen for a couple hours.
