This is where I get to make you all laugh - I was so inspired by this discussion that I went and ordered a Sieg M1 - a mini-lathe/milling/drilling machine. It is the absolute entry-level machine which is very appropriate since I know absolutely nothing about metalwork. My brother (who has passed on some months ago) was a genius with this stuff but he got all the machinery genes in our family. Now that I have to do my own astro projects, I figured it was time I learnt.
Can one of you more experienced types tell me what accessories I should b getting - milling bits, chucks, collets (When I first heard word, I thought they were something to eat, like collards and Chitlins) and so forth?
