Never let it be said that I'm not an opportunist.

One of the machine shops owners down from my factory unit is retiring and was interested in selling his machines after a deal fell through with a potential buyer for the lot.

So I struck while the iron was hot.

Got my self a solid old lathe and, with what I'm realy stoked about, a mill. Woo Hoo! ;16 ;16
