Laser CNC machine - home built!

Browsing around various machining sites and ran into this gem. This guy gets a CO2 laser from eBay and proceeds to build a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting machine with it. The laser is stationary and the work moves. As he says, getting the laser was the easiest part... Heh... Lots of technical details -- hardware and software (Linux natch...)
