Machines I want but will probably never own

Vincent,
You are perfectly normal!

More room-More time.
That's all I ask.
 
Mary Ann, now I have to go back and look at the original question. :)
Oh yeah, a better mill, and room for it....
 
Moto Guzzi 850 Eldarado (Oh? They haven't made that since the mid '70s?)
and the stability to ride it. (and walk) With a motorcycle like that, the women will find you.

Whaddayoumean I have to specify a machine tool?
Well, a full size Bridgeport and the room to set it up.
 
I might consider murder for an additional 200-300 sq ft of shop space..........................
 
Hardinge! I just recently fulfilled my wish for a knee mill ... love it!

There are some machines that, to a certain individual, hold a magnetic attraction. Just the appearance and design pull you to toward them. In motorcycles for me it is the Vincent Rapide A, the “ plumbers nightmare”. A very visceral machine.

In metal working, remember, I’m relatively new to machining although I have several years of mechanical experience, and have little hands on experience. I do a lot of reading and watch a lot of videos. I’ve noticed that there are some machines that I have a fascination with. As follows
Lathe - Monarch 10 ee
Mill - Tree 2uvr
Shaper - Atlas 7B
Saw - Keller powered hacksaw
Can I afford them? No
Do I have room? No
Do I have the ability to use them? No
Am I likely to ever acquire them? No
FDo I want them? YES!
Do you have machines that appeal to you the same way or am I just weird ?
Thanks

Ditto. Been looking for one for a couple of years now. Either too much, too far, or I'm too late.
