Re: Builders remorse?

Hey,
It's not remorse, it's the challenge that drives you. When you
complete the project, there is no more challenge and the fun is
over. Try making keychains or some other various trinket (sp?) to
sell on Ebay. RC car parts get high $, if you know what people are
looking for etc...

Use your knowledge to help others at sites like this. Better yet,
retrofit your lathe for CNC with threading, programmable variable
speed spindle, and build your own tool turret/changer. You do have a
lathe and a mill, you CAN make just about anything. Congrats on
completing the the project. Good luck.
