thanks for the feedback everyone. I've got the welding figured out. I bought the Everlast MTS 275 mig tiG stick. for the renting comment: our landlord lets us do anything. that's why we chose this house. I literally finished the entire basement and my son's boss is an electrical apprentice. I...

update. I was forced to resign from nursing all together for reasons I don't want to talk about. I Just had to quit. Got the pension payout. researching still what machines to get, how to make money via welding, constructions and machining. the local busy bee selling a knee mill for 4900...

the local Ottawa, Ontario, Canada busybee store website is advertising Busy Bee Tools Product Detail a returned "lightly damaged by shipping Co." knee mill for $4899. canadian. regular price around $5900. I left a msg for them to call me back with more details.

Andy: thank you for posting. frequently I read posts and it sparks new ideas, expands existing ideas, refines some. and I'm inspired by your post that expands what I'm already planning. workshop will have plumbing and an area with sloped floor, maybe 5x5 for showering, hosing down, cleaning...

dear Joe I am: I've been researching welders for 3 years now and its the consensus among many welders that nothing even comes close to the Everlast welders for price and capability. a few bad reviews from older models have been addressed and changed fixed with the current models. I'm all...

no doubt swmbo she...obeyed is 100% on the team. we are insanely tight and could give marital lessons on communication, respect cooperation. We will both come to an agreement and compromise. its insane how much is involved with buying a plot, drafting blueprints, fixed by architect, checked with...

that gives me an idea.... i had not thought of... i actually had not considered building the workshop as part of the basement. what i wrote an hour ago in my new document was brainstorming ideas to discuss with architect was a sloping driveway to the middle of the basement to allow for an exit...

wow Dave. talk about amazing advice input. I'm putting together a Google document. that has every single detail, person, outline, headings, ideas, dreams. every single aspect of entire project. organized into one document that is easy to read, scroll, click on links, photos, headings etc...

Greetings, I'd love any opinions from the group about this possibility: building a house to suit: new development; finally met with my long time bff who is a carpenter contractor and went over in detail the real possibility to build our home instead of buying a home at the same price. I'm...

i almost posted that same build.... amazing. so inspiring. my parents first language is Ukrainian. i was raised by my great grandBaba who moved in with us when i was 4. why i became a RN. so far the slaviks i've met are very hard workers. i noticed a lot of Russian videos of machining. Ever...

i've been in contact with modern tool. canada. the sales rep quoted me between 12 and 16k for knee mills. i didn't ask about lathes yet. i see their website has quite a few new and used. i think they deal with commercial items mostly. quite expensive....

right on.....Senor Priggs. i'd love to hear one or a few specific items you still like to make with the smaller one. I'll check that out right away. we used to buy things from USA and drive 100kms south of Ottawa Ogdensburg. i would need to look into recent rules. maybe with covid they...

I’ve a lot of experience with my other forum. Years. 600 people sharing a wide range of opinions on various topics. I love all of them.

Correct Norman. I couldn’t be bothered unless I brought a friend to evaluate a used. So too much trouble. I don’t mind buying new and possibly selling it or passing it down to my son or keeping it if still useful. My wife and I are together going through each of blondiehacks videos. Gwen is...

thats a really good point.... I keep worrying about the difficulty moving the machine later....when there is a real possibility that it might be easy to sell anything and not have to move it....

I'm currently thinking of buying the mini lathe (link below) from BusyBee tools because I have no experience and want to get started somewhere. It's painful to think of for just another 2 grand I could get a real lathe, but on the other hand buying the small one will maybe be slightly easier...

there's so much unknown. is there not a lathe that can be absolutely certain of being capable of also milling with the right attachments? and that mill is not more than 300 lbs? i think it would be so great to get a small lathe with milling attachments and I learn on a small scale making...
