I am a part time machinist, and full time hobby machinist. I have made my own rotary table, a four jawed chuck for the rotary table, a steady rest for the lathe, and an adjustable angle plate for the mill. I have a Southbend 9" Lathe, a Sears Atlas lathe, a Chinese mill-drill, a Lincoln cracker box, table saw, wood lathe, and floor model drill press, as well as a metal cutting band saw. I love metal work, and wood work. I also have my own foundry for melting aluminum. I just turned 71 and am looking forward to a lot more years. I work full-time as a millwright.
