ure too much Vinny .. let me say one thing I had an unwelcome guest in the shop for a few months everything this guy touched he either broke or made worse . this guy even stole handles off of things for the brass. Well one thing he did was add a bigger spool to welder ( small Lincoln 100) anyways he didn't put a spacer and it got stuck when wire feeding. ( nut kept locking up when it advanced) I fig that out at the end of job ,, so that's one big reason why my welds were stop and go... I do have a few good lookin welds ya know ... like I said I aint no welder ..whats with u bro ure worse than my ole man

Dave,
You lost that title when you welded the last couple of projects. Your welds are far from ugly so I'm keeping the title.

Ag parts are profitable. Make something common. Make a few and put them for sale in the paper. Haying is popular here; rollers and drive gears are in demand. Just one of those orders might pay for your lathe. Just one ad might generate related calls.
Your mill stand has wheels on it. It'll tip over.
