Well, I have two mills (Jet m/d and Griz BP clone) two lathes (9" and 11" Logans) two drill presses, four bench grinders, a bandsaw, four welders (two stick, one MIG, one TIG) a belt sander, a bead blast cabinet, an 18-station turret punch...
Next? You name it. I have some of the parts for an english wheel, I'll probably finish that up this summer. I need a sheetmetal brake, I'll probably make that this summer too.
I was looking at a 14" South Bend (later model) that's local (I'd probably sell the smaller Logan to offset bnoth cost and space) and a surface grinder. Don't really need the latter, but I'm sure I could find a use for it.
I'd love to have a smaller horizontal mill- something bigger than the little Atlas desktops, but not a huge 3-phase Cincinatti.
I'll be getting a good plasma cutter before too long- actually probably two, one of the small, inexpensive ones for sheetmetal on up to about 3/16", and a bigger one that can at least sever 1/2".
I'm also collecting parts to make an "ironman" iron worker, with a 12" shear (should I make or buy the blades?) a punch that'll use the same punches and dies as the turret punch, and an angle-iron-and-rod shear.
The small Eastwood style stretcher/shrinkers would be nice, as would a good propane forge and a big anvil...
Yeah, I'm a tool whore.
Doc.
