What Did You Buy Today?

[matthewsx]

Not planning on doing anything fancy, told my wife I’d make her some plant stands.

I have an old Miller in Michigan and has welding here if I need it.
I’ve read some good reviews on this one and it’s on sale right now.

Well I bought this hobby lathe a few weeks ago. I had not had a chance to get it into the shop until today.

Could make one heck of a peashooter with that lathe! 10 foot barrel, wow.

I think that's one of them there "bench lathes". As in, put some plywood on top of the bed and you have an instant bench

congrats on the purchase, looking forward to more details when you have the time. You're certainly doing a fine job of filling up that lovely new shop!

You know that just because you have the room now that the shop is built, you don't have to fill it up.

I bought this fancy thing for 9 dollars. The cat cost way more than that. Hopefully, this will be at least two times as useful as the cat. What is 2 times zero, again?
