Learning how to do these simple metalworking projects just totally

to have those knobs fixed and to know how to make these sorts of

learn more about what you
can do with it...

OH NO!!!

You just contracted metal mangler's disease. There is no cure. Frequent
purchase of new machine tools helps control the symptoms.

I've had a serious tool addiction since I was very young. I just can't get
enough of them. And now with my introduction to metal working, it's just
opened the door for another endless list of items I just MUST HAVE NOW....


Ditto here. I used to think I was a woodworker and metalworker. Now
that I'm honest with myself, I'm referring to myself as "a tool
collector who occasionally does decent woodworking and metalworking."

F*ck Pukey Ducks!
