I organize my CNC work with a separate directory for each project, and I 
put each tool's work in a separate file.  I try to avoid really long CNC 
programs, because if something messes up (programming mistake or jammed 
tool), I have to comment out a lot of things to avoid excessively long air 
cutting times when restarting.

I do find myself wishing I had an automatic tool changer, but I can't 
justify moving to that class of mill in my garage.
