Hi from Ireland, just got a 40W to get to grips with

Accessories: none

No background with these things but have been reading, watching and (theoretically) learning a lot. Eventually I'd like to be able to work with acrylic but will start with timber as I've got a forest to pilfer from.
I'm really looking forward to learning all I can do with this machine and do intend to add a rotary to it at some stage... so many possibilities.

Other obsessions include audiobooks, pets, sewing, knitting, crochet and my 3D printer (CR-10). I think my 40W will fit in very nicely.
