Duck: Thank you for the kind words!

As for the shop, it is all new. I built it last year. It is the culmination of a lifetime desire to have a small shop. The machines are new too. I am just learning. So, be aware that it takes little experience or practice to start making things. That is one thing I always desired so strongly, was to be able to make some small parts for models. I am a total rookie. You look around the internet, and see the amazing things 'true machinists' make on these small hobby machines and it will blow you away!
