Ok. Tony, we need to talk. Look, you lured me in with clever, funny videos, some of which had relevant tips for the kind of work I was doing. Then, you got it in my head that I actually needed a mill and a lathe. So last week I found myself actually buying one of each. Now I'm spending hundreds on tooling and accessories. Yes, I'm having fun, and I'm saving a beautiful former US Navy lathe from the scrapper, and the whole thing is incredibly rewarding, but I'm still blaming you. Thanks for that.

[@dontnubblemebro]

Tony made me buy an old English lathe, a Smith, Barker and Willson from 1910-1920 or so, now I'm buying some old cast iron from a pre WWII ore crusher to make into backplates. I also bought a goddamn TIG welder and I'm madly chasing a shaper. He's a menace this Tony is, giving us all these godawful hobbies. I keep chasing pay rises for more tools!!

He made me buy a minilathe from the usual scumbags. I then bought tools, drills, morse taper chucks and built up a small lathe bench. Today, a small 4jaw and a coolant flex pipe came in the mail. Already saving up for a quick change tool post and carbide holder and tip set. I blame it on TOT.
