I wonder if, in addition to trading for gold, silver, or lead, how about trading for dirt, weight for weight? At least, he seems to have some sense of humor ----

You mean like calling this a tool maker's lathe?

Yes, that is certainly one of the elements of humor; that starts it out, then cutting wheels for antique cars, making barrels, trading for gold, silver or lead; that it could reproduce itself, and of course that it can make cool stuff. I'd think that it's highest and best use would be for good quality cast iron scrap.

But really, $1000 is not bad for the only machine on the planet that can reproduce itself. That’s only $500 apiece then.

Good point! Then you could scrap both of them for twice the weight.
