The CNC Report Podcast – Inventor Woody Norris

CNC Reporter — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:40:47 +0000

A note from CNC Report host Jay Pierson: Hello everybody. I was all geared up to do another episode, one that would impress and inspire, but then I ran across a presentation that does a far greater job of impressing and inspiring than I ever could. Woody Norris is an inventor and entrepreneur I greatly admire. Though his presentation isn’t machining specific, he does own a Fadal VMC and relies heavily on his manufacturing capabilities to prototype his ideas. For our regular listeners out there, you’ll catch our similar views on education. So, instead of the normal Weekend Podcast, I give you a Ted Talk with inventor Woody Norris.
