I wish you a great success at that. The design will of course get fine tuned
over the first few months as you see how they go together & decide that maybe
the machine can save you some time in the finish sanding, by cutting ever
closer to the final dimension.
All of us here would agree that they have heard that the time you spend
fishing is free. I've been told by the God peddlers all my life that ones
life clock is stopped, he doesn't charge the time you spend fishing against
ones alloted time. That may explain why at 75, I'm still here, there have
been several occasions when it could have ended. But I won't bore the list
with the replays.
One bit of wisdom I'll pass. Do what you enjoy, so that you can enjoy what
you do. ;-)
