For a long time when I kicked on I made my own lathe etc my wife remarked I was having so much fun sourcing material, welding frames. I bought a half ton meat saw that I converted to using bearing guides and eliminated the sliding fence. It had a great depth of cut so I cut up burl etc easily, it had a four hp motor single phase (very old) when I bought it I ran it first on a long 10 amp lead to the blokes nearest power point, the lead never even got warm (very impressed). Bought many items that demanded extensive work done on them to fit my budget.
