Hey man...Happy Birthday. At our age...everyday above ground is a present if you ask me. Can't really offer any suggestions on what you should buy for yourself but I am sure Budd Matto would be willing to help you spend some of that money

Happy Birthday.

If you don't have a good set of t-handles..... That's a "must have"....

Reminds me that I am missing my safety wire pliers... I feel somewhat lost without them...

Lathe. You won't believe you got by without one.

Compressor and bench grinder with a wire wheel goes without saying.

Happy birthday!

The last tool I bought (around my 55th birthday) was this Tire Mounting Tool from Kauritmoto:

Yes, a well equipped home should have a lathe. A very useful tool.
Here is my 1950s Harrison L5A
