I’m learning that look...LOL. I’m sure my wife has a mental inventory of all my tools that have excessive amount of chrome or volume."wait, what, when did this happen" look.

I have been looking at getting these machines (or similar) for many years. I finally told my wife that I was going to pull the trigger and she just rolled her eyes in disbelief since I always seem to do a lot of research then decide it is too much money. Well this time I pulled the trigger and then explained that it was going to be a LOT more expensive than the initial investment.I’m learning that look...LOL.

I told my wife I have four expensive tools to purchase before I retire... I’ve purchase two, one of which is a 12x24” lathe. When it showed up the comment from my wife was something like “normal people don’t have tools like this in their basement”- LOL.I have been looking at getting these machines (or similar) for many years.

(I’ll start up a separate thread about it once it makes it into the basement)
I have a neighbor who comes to me every time something breaks. So far in the last few months I have fixed his riding lawn mower, Instapot cooker, Backup power generator, light switch, Bath tub sealant, and even installed a new toilet for him. And now I with the lathe and mill I will be able to fix all sorts of stuff I couldn't before... Hmmm, maybe it is not so good that the neighbors know I can fix stuff...That would be the ones who can't fix anything, and come to you, cuz you got a b i t c h n' set of tools
