What are your plans for 2022?

[erikmannie]

I am planning to:

(1) Pay off $38,000 in tool debt,
(2) Buy a TMX or Bison 12”, 6-jaw chuck along with the same brand D1-6 adapter,
(3) Right after paying off all consumer debt (mid-October 2022), get a new loan for a PM-1054 3-phase variable speed milling machine, a Millermatic 255, a Millermatic 252 with a spoolgun, and one more Miller small runner cart.

I have to work 70+ hours a week for the next 18 months to make this happen, so I need to make sure & not get sick or injured.

Sounds like busy plan, 70+ hours is a lot of work.

My plan.... Learn how to use the new machines that are currently on a container ship headed this way. Get my Bronco project back in the shop and start working on it again.

I plan to:

1) Finish the wine cellar
2) Clean up the property damage from the recent big storm
3) Solve the world’s bleak energy future with deuterium fusion

I just can’t decide which to do first.

I finished paying off all my debts a month ago. Now I need to start working on my wife's debts.
I work in the contracting industry, and there are whispers our contract may end early next year.
So, until that matter is settled, I won't be buying anything which cannot be purchased with cash.

If that risk proves to be nothing, then I am eyeing a PM1228 lathe in April. I like the idea of a lathe, which requires
change gears to be moved less frequently. A bit more length and power won't hurt my feelings either.
My current 7 X 16 lathe has works like a champ, so I certainly won't badmouth it.

Beyond that, I need to finish getting my current toys properly modified, upgraded, and positioned in
a more sensible position in the shop. The problem with being in the "acquiring phase" of any shop, is
figuring out the best location for all the pieces. It changes every time you add a major piece. It may turn
out there is no good space for the PM1228 until I re-home my smaller lathe.

But then, that is a First World Problem, and not worth complaining about.

Id like to try and start earning some cash with my shop but pay off some debt on other things as well.
