What are the lamps for? They look delicate, and relatively expensive.

I was on the fence about getting one of these for a while, but just drilling the test hole has me completely sold. Need to do some fine adjustments to get it completely level, but I'm really happy. Only problem is that it's very tall and so is my table. I'm 6'3" and I build my tables to be comfortable for my height. The center of the chuck is at about eye level, so if this thing fails and flies apart, I'll never even know...

Drill presses are fantastic. Aside from chainsaws, I use almost 100% manual tools, but I like having a drill press available when I need one.

Yeah, this will be a huge quality of life improvement, especially when it comes to aluminum. I don't love the clamp system, but that seems easy enough to replace.

After about 6 years, I think my amp bit the bullet. Got power going to it, but it's not pushing any audio to my speakers. Ended up buying another one:


It's a 400w exact replacement.

A bunch of firewood, since I never got enough time to get my own this summer. It just went by too fast. Around $600ish delivered. I was going to pickup a bunch of small loads myself with my trailer but the one day I was off they did not have any available loose and was not sure when is the next time I can go since I really don't have much time off this schedule so decided to just pay for a single truck load.

More money than I wanted to spend, but still end up saving on gas so guess it's still a profit. This should last me the whole winter easy. Last year I had less so I was being more conservative with how often I made a fire but this year I can probably make way more.
