TIG and Lathe are both on my mental list for when I knock my prefab garage down and build a proper work shop. Any year now...

My air compressor, a proper decent sized one.

Without it, no spraying, no impact gun, no die grinder etc.....

The only tool I've been using recently is a radiator bleed key.

The thing I miss the most when it's not there is the vice.

My Lathe/Mill.

I has a personality and a heart of gold. *happy*

Trouble is that it must be female because it gives me grief if I don't treat her gently.
