I like making things and like woodworking, metal work provides a great satisfaction when it turns out like you planned. Luckily I have a wife who indulges me and allowed me to purchase this tool.;Since owning it I have fixed several key items from ice maker in our fridge to an elliptical jig tool (see pic below).I'll probably never recoup the cost of the tool but I have gained a skill and experience that will stay with me a lifetime.
