Dream Tools--What do you yearn for?

[granth]

I would like a set of Brownwells gunsmithing screwdrivers.

On my list of "one day" is building a CNC router for my workshop, maybe 4 x 8 feet. I've built a lot of systems over the years (mostly waterjet), but always for someone else.

A lathe larger than my 9" South Bend, something with a 48" bed and 1 1/2" through hole.

South bend did make a longer bed for the 9" series. I fitted one on my lathe about 15 year ago. As for the tail stock bore diameter, I agree, it's too small.

I suppose if I had a wish list, I would want a dedicated decent quality bench top mill. Currently using a 3 in 1. It's great as a drill press, decent as a lathe, and mediocre as a mill.

6x18 surface grinder would help.

A self- sharpening square graver and a self-sharpening v-chisel. A man can dream!

Since we're dreaming, here - my dream tool would be a magic wand....

Aw...that would take all the fun out of learning to curse in foreign languages when you mess up, or cut your finger. Because cursing in one language sometimes just doesn't get it.

My amended dream tools would be in the hands of relatives, friends, and neighbors - complete sets in THEIR hands-so they'd leave mine alone. Especially good screwdrivers and anything that says "3/8th".
