You did a great job on that I enjoy seeing all the ideas that folks come up with for projects. Mine have so far been confined to shop projects but I am getting the Itch to find a project for the house........................ There is a chair in the family room that my wife thinks needs a new end table next to it.
When I buy a major, or almost any tool or machine I try to use it in ways that will Justify the cost. My 2 post lift for instance has saved me well over its purchase price in reduced repair and oil change bills over the few years I have had it.My bead roller paid for itself and the bending brake in less then six months doing some work for other car guys. There are other tools like my lathe and Mill that will never pay for themselves but they allow me to do more then I thought they would and it sure is fun playing with them
