Actually while I think of it , ask around and join a local group ( chapter AAWT ?) . They're generally friendly , housetrained and can give lots of useful hints and tips . Plus group discounts can be negotiated

Welcome. Recommendation to join a local AAW chapter is good advice. I belonged to one which disbanded due to declining membership numbers. Closest only meets on Saturdays.

Good luck , it worked for a while here that's all I can offer youI'll have to tell my wife that Ian.
I mean on a golf course you keep losing your balls down a hole
and you don't produce gifts for friends ….. What's not to enjoy in a spot of productive turning?

Well Ian, it didn't work. Today I dropped $250.00 at PSI, another $110.00 at Stainless Bottle Stoppers and I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on Amazon getting some T-88 Epoxy, that's another $56.00. Every time I use the credit card it pings her phone (you know the Fraud alert) and I hear, "What did you buy now". What she forgets, and I constantly remind her of, is that my business brings in enough to cover all the costs and I always pay it back. But she'll probably never stop taunting me about spending money. I keep telling her we don't want to leave it to the kids so we need to spend it now.
