Tormach CNC mill

3hp lathe w/ thread cutting attachment

Digital heat-treat oven w/ nitrogen quench cycle capability

50 lb anvil

Old portable riveter's forge

Media blasting cabinet

With those, and the tools I already have, I could do almost anything.

It's no fun if you practice, first.

Right. 200 amp MIG/TIG welder with automatic wire feed. I forgot. Thanks, Roy!

Add a welder and a bending brake to the rest of the stuff and you really could make a car...

But none of these things really help WillyDigger, though.

What he needs is a way to translate his hand movements into the movements of a motor-driven cutting tool, which would allow him to more easily work with more persistent materials.

Something like a 3-axis mill hooked up to a virtual-reality rig. Metal sculpting at 3 HP.

It's no fun if you practice, first.
