I feel like i ramble on a lot of my posts and wonder if you guys like when I talk about how I bought stuff or the story behind it. As well, of what you guys want to see more of? Feel free to leave suggestions!

I find the stories behind stuff fascinating.

Seeing more completed projects, not just tools, would be nice. I feel like the final product is the actual fun of machining.

I just don't have much to contribute from my current job, which is machining but pretty stone age level stuff that's not interesting. And some of it is partially trade secret and stuff, not that my company is super strict about that.

I'm not a machinist, and only a very poor woodworker, browsing from Local, so maybe my opinion is useless.

Anyway, I enjoy seeing your tool hauls and restoration. I'm certainly interested in seeing the products of people's work, and maybe shop tours?

I'm trying to get into CNC, so if you ask me, I'd say some CNC.
