Me too -- I had a 30 hour course in the workshop as a graduate student in physics. We covered both manual and CNC milling and turning, with Bridgeport mills and Colchester lathes.
Completely opened my mind. Made me a better experimentalist. I spent about 99% of the time utterly terrified and wanting to check everything about ten times to make sure that I didn't wreck either the job or myself.
