I am a wannabee metal worker with an interest in machine work and fabrication neither of which do I perform worth a flip. I have an Atlas 7 Shaper, a Sheldon EXL 10" lathe, a 20" Wilton Drill Press, a Burke #4 (converted-originally a #3), a KO Lee tool & die grinder and a Wells Index vert mill. The last item is not currently functioning. Also several other pieces of old USA iron for grinding, sanding and what not. Too many tools for someone with limited knowledge and a proven ability to learn things slowly IF at all.
I retired at 50 and will likely need to go back to work because I am almost out of money .
I am a beekeeper for 9 years. I do this to raise $ for chordoma. If I didn't do beekeeping for a charity I would have quit several years ago. I'm in too deep now LOL.

Beekeeping, machine work, avoiding my wife and keeping my shop a complete and utter mess.
