I love chips!

Actually, l love the possibilities and creativity the most. Your imagination is the only limitation.

The big piece of metal is now smaller pieces of metal!! And that is all that anyone could have wished for. . .

I couldn't find any good old equipment used for a reasonable price, so I bought new holzmann mill and lathe. They are made in china, but seems to be working so far, I bought these before my "machine room" is added to the garage, so they are temporary placed for now.

Still need to buy all the handtools and equipment, but it's very fun, I need a small project!

Oh! The fun is just beginning. You'll be AMAZED at how much you can spend in "tooling". This hobby is addictive in that way. Everything you do requires an additional "family member".
