Yeah. And I still need a bigger lathe too. The dro, one shot oiler, and power feeds are the big ones though. I can work well with those. Not that I can't work without them but the time savings working with them is the huge. The 3hp and belt drive likely won't happen for a couple years no matter how much I want to copycat your mill.
I also need to look at buying a house next year something with a large garage of my own. Trying to tell my girlfriend we should just build a large metal building on some land then a kitchen and bathroom but I don't think she will go for that.

Yeah, forgot about the lathe.
You would have loved this: We found what was basically a barn for sale on a rather large horse ranch. A new barn mind you, with a concrete floor, very well lit, and insulated/heated/cooled. Plenty of room to park the cars, trucks, combine, etc.. The South East corner of the building was walled in, with a couple of regular looking wood doors. We walked in and there was this gorgeous apartment, with a living/family room with windows to the outside, island kitchen (with rather expensive built-ins), half-bath, and another room that was a combo laundry/mud room much like we have now. The upstairs had a very large bedroom with large master bath and walk-in closets. Wife loved it. I loved it. Unfortunately, it was in GA and there is little in the way of a high-tech job market there.
Otherwise I'd be living in this monster-sized shop with a built-in apartment.
