You know you are a hobby machinist when :-

When you master windows 8 and use an excel spread sheet to log all outstanding work in chronological order , then add new prioritized future projects in readiness for when you've caught up .

LOL, "For when you've caught up". That's a joke, right?

It's a wry humourous ambiguity , that could have an end point or turn to into infinity depending on how self disciplined you are .:lmao:

Not only that but the money you spend on tooling doesn't count?? :thinking: Or does it?? :whiteflag:

No, extra EXPENSES don't count!!! After all, the money you saved is meant to be spent on tooling for it!!!!

You know you're becoming a hobby machinist when you wonder where the heck are you going to get the next supply of off cuts and how much will it cost you . :lmao:



I'm half way through 112 pounds of engineering ex works , round , square & hex off cuts ..... three to six inches long & up to three inches across and it's only six weeks since I purchased it , for four of those weeks I was away on holiday .

You wake up in the middle of the night, put something on your feet walk out to the garage, than spend the next couple hours machining or welding something together.
