Yup. The life of a married man. Sad thing is I started with enough saved up to get the 1127 easily (possibly the 1236). But "unexpected" things came up and my savings started to dwindle quickly. LOL Between the car and the little guy needing his toys I was left with enough to get the 1030. I'll see if I can swing the QCTP from Matt before the machine arrives, but I have to make sure those unexpected things stop appearing. Like the new remote car starter yesterday. LOL The new car had to have that also. But at least my lathe will be paid for with cash so no monthly payments or crazy interest rates from financing. Plus the wife did admit once the car is paid off we will be banking money for what ever dream lathe I want. So that RML 1440V will be mine one day. Most likely in about 20 years. LOL But at least Once I have the lathe in my garage I can start the painfull process of tooling it up and saving for the mill. LOL Tools just never end at my house. Being a carpenter by trade I have tons of wood tools. Now adding metal working tools to the mix our garage is getting smaller and smaller by the year.
