Glad to be an inspiration to you because in fact, life is a "Merry-go-round" and we inspire each other. Take me for instance, I'm planning to build fixtures, jigs and other contraptions to help me work faster and easier in the shop. I'm planning to move into a new shop sometime this coming spring. I have a long list of projects to build and I take inspiration from commercial models or samples devised and conceived by other people to which, in an irrepressible manner ,I modify or adapt to my own needs or to make them better or easier to build. You're probably aware of a comment by one of the great minds of humanity (Isaac Newton) who once said "I was able to see farther because I was standing on the shoulders of giants who came before me", how true.
Let me know if you wish to have a copy of it. They said that curiosity killed the cat but I add that ambition too; therefore, I'm on a road to perdition because one of the features that I try to include in my "creations" is to be able to use them in the lathe as well as the mill or even a drill press (I figure that I'm doomed by now) hahahaha. I'm gonna have going very soon, a "Mechanical Filing Machine" to finish precise surfaces easier that by hand filing.
