Builders remorse?

Hello All,

I've been lurking around the group for a while; picking up nuggets of
CNC wisdom. I have a small Grizzly 7x20 lathe and a Sherline mill.
I've just finished converting my Sherline to CNC and have run right
into a brick wall. I've been so busy converting the mill, that I've
forgot what I bought the mill for in the first place! Originally, I
got the lathe because I had built a Lego-bot and decided I needed
more accurate axles. But as soon as I got the lathe I got distracted
with tooling. Then I realized I should really have a small mill to
help with some of the tooling and jigs I wanted. Now I've finished
my CNC (quite a rush when your first part comes out right!), and feel
like the wolf that got so busy running, that he forgot he was chasing
Bugs Bunny.

Whew! These things are addictive. Maybe I should start a support
group, Tool Collectors Anonymous.

Oh yeah, the axles have yet to be made still!
