The reason I started playing around with making the things myself, is because my location isn't that ideal. I'm on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and no matter what you need everythings an hour away. Plus the owner of the farm amazes me with the things he makes and I think a bit of that has rubbed off on me, for most things we believe if someone else can make then so can we.

The lathe is probably best described as a farmers lathe, nothing fancy, old as the hills, we even mounted a washing machine motor on it the other day, because we couldn't get it to go slow enough for a particular job, and it worked!

Anyway shearing today, got to go.
