Default What would I purchase?

Considering all the tiems you have listed I find that for my personal needs and well being the best way for me to spend the money would be either a new car for the wife or remodel the kitchen. Or perhaps both. That would make my life in the shop about as easy as the new forge lube at the store here makes punching holes.

I have a fly press on my list next, followed by a plasma - I have everything else that I need/want.
