Thank you.  The punch is based on the homebuilt CNC machines for
woodworking.  I made one of those CNC routers some years ago.

The machine as shown on the web page is not yet complete.  You can see
several pieces of stick tape and wire around.  I will finish it some
time soon and then I will post new pictures and more details about the
construction and operation.

I am a bit disappointed with the performance.  It takes four to five
hours to punch a two-minute song.  The control software needs some
optimization work.
