Wondering how others manage to get by without a fairly comprehensive
home workshop that you can pop out to and make/repair stuff. I guy I
know gave his son his old Southbend and regretted it as he couldn't just
pop out and make things, luckily for him he was offered a free Myford 7
and a few other bits to go with it recently.

In my case, "Popping out" to the shop means a 30-mile drive.
I hate that!
