My knowledge of machining has grown over the past few months from when I first walked into the workshop and most of the machines just seemed foreign. In the early stages of the year I was even a little scared and intimidated of some of the machines. The biggest turning point for me with building confidence was during materials and processes when I was able to experiment with tools and machines. There wasn't any pressure if I got anything wrong I was able to just 'see what the machines do'. It was later on that I could use this knowledge to do more focused tasks where I need a particular outcome
At this stage in the course I feel I Understand the capabilities of machines, can select an appropriate machine for a task and use it with much more confidence.
