It's great to see your designs come to life, isn't it? The first time's particularly exciting. I remember my first time, in the 2008 offseason. I designed a fancy two-axis bearing block in Solidworks, made a drawing, then watched our machinist mill it out of a block of aluminum. That convinced me that I wanted to continue with design, CAD in particular.
