Mayhem,
Your story is much like mine only I had no thought of a lathe or mill until
my 40s when I found my self in a job where I moved machinery every day for a living, it was then I started to take notice and ponder as to what I could do with such a machine!!
I don't know if I will ever take the time to make a small motor or any thing that complex but so far the things I have made are enjoyable to make and provide me with a since of accomplishment!
For now that is more than enough and that doesn't even begin to touch the enjoyment and friendships my little machine has brought to me through the forums!!
