Where you are a machine at home is rare, I have a 10' x 20' area in my garage with a 9 x 31 vertical mill, a 12 x 28 lathe, a 4 x 3 welding fixture table, a MIG welder, a TIG welder, 2" x 48" belt/disc sander, and a 80 gal industrial air compressor. Outside in the back is a 20 ton press, with a finger brake for that, a 24" sheet metal pan brake too. I'm hoping to add a 16" x 24" x 24" band saw soon. When you are done with a primary career, I want to keep my mind functioning, similar to doing Sudoku puzzles. There are members, as well as other people who have way more room, and a bunch more machines, it's about capability, and getting back to basic manufacturing that we were known for, but on a much smaller scale. I hope this was clear. I would also like to add that there are many people here who have less, but are much more capable of doing more with less, who are truly gifted..
