Just one. A bigger bank account!
Just one. A bigger bank account!
I am quite content with my life. But when I go through the MSC catalog, I think I could easily spend a $100K, if not a million, on tools I would like to have. I don't buy the best available, because there are other needs in my tool budget and I realize that puts me at a disadvantage. That is the dilemma of a hobby machine shop.Yeah, I think that wraps it all up.
However some of the well to do customers I have... seem to have issues in their lives I am not sure I want to deal with.
Each side of life seems to have its challenges... I believe how we handle those challenges is more important.
Well I feel very lucky to have my own (little) machine shop at all! I'm really finding great pleasure in working with metal, making chips, and getting experience machining.
I wish my skin was a little tougher, as those chips are smoking hot. Haha
Like most beginners, I'm enamoured with all the accessories and tooling I am reading and hearing about, but mostly I wish to continue to grow into this new hobby!
One day a proper sized mill would be nice. For now I'll look forward to my next chip burn. (Maybe a shield to stop that. Lol)
