Well there was included a state art electronic speed controlled lathe that tweaked my interest.
Since then the shed has been gutted, 150mm pipe dust extraction system fitted ...not yet completed and everything being changed position.
Plus turned 70 last year, retired and collected the age pension and now have 2 part time jobs, both in essential services, well Ive convinced myself they are. So barely time to stop and enjoy a fart.

Bit of a lost art these days is wood turning and metal. Old bloke (Jack Wines) that passed on about five years ago had his home workshop in the town's old cheese factory and he regularly turned stuff in wood and even made parts for people . If Jack couldn't make it , it couldn't be done . Pure genius sometimes . I saw him do it often .. Woodcraft Guild here , same thing that works with the Men's Shed . They are a fantastic bunch ..
