My new DIY Toy!!!

Excellent craft....
Only to sail in rivers?

I could run in the bay, but it'll spend most of it's time on lakes.

I worked for 7 years in machine shops on the UF campus. I learned a lot and I have always wanted my very own shop to tinker. I think my first piece will be a mig/tig with an aluminum spool. I really miss not being able to fabricate stuff.

One of my favorite phrases: "A good machinist makes very few mistakes. A great machinist knows how to cover them up."

Yeah, it's nice to be able to dream up stuff and walk into the garage, screw up ten times and finally get it right!!!

I am actually in the market for a walking foot sewing machine as well. I find that a lot of what I want to do is with straps.

I just got an industrial Brother sewing machine that punches right through webbing (The motor is HUGE!). So far I haven't found a need for a walking foot, but I am not doing car or boat interiors.

Now a nice lathe would be sweet! Oh the tools you can buy.
