I still remember when the Aussie dollar was 1 for 1 (parity). I had so many friends went over for a holiday. I got a few nice, cheap things,we can only hope.
While I recognise the value in quality equipment it's not something I'm in a position to play with. I'm better off if I can buy the materials and machine my own stuff to a degree. Dovetail bars and clamps I wouldn't bother with, the material costs as much as the finished product (close enough) but many things are easily replicated to a degree without stealing a design and only for myself.
Maybe if I got a haircut, shave and a job........
No, I'm not on a pension because I have long hair and beard, I'm just cheap and lazy or that's what I tell anyone who comments on my beard that hangs down to an inch above my navel.
