Not even. Just an obsessive desire to do some things. LOL.

"If you have a mill, everything looks like billet.", eh?

Yup! Aluminum plate, steel, MDF, titanium, cast iron, even that broken vise
sitting in the corner that you hate to throw away.

Actually titanium "screwless" vises are on my short to do list. In order to
