I worked in a machine shop for several years. I had manual and CNC mills and lathes, sheet metal breaks, tubing benders, and TIG and MIG welders. Best part was the boss was a gun and motorcycle nut also so whatever I wanted to make on my own time was cool with him. Pretty frustrating now to want to make something and not have the tools. I also had a CNC water jet cutter.

I would've enjoyed having a shop filled with that equipment. All I have is a Brown & Sharpe vertical miller, B&S lathe and drill press. Though not CNC I've had excellent luck with the B&S equipment. Our daughters have pretty much taken over the shop as they seem to think I need to be FULLY retired, LOL
