Nice set of versadrive drills, taps and steppers, very sharp pricing at lamma yesterday. These things drill fast in one hit and no biting.
make sure you have someone on call , other wise lot better than a ladderI have a lack of spare staff to hold me up in a man basket whilst I do a couple of big projects in the next year or so and a lack of spare time to hire something by the week. Told the wife that it was her Christmas present when she caught it being unloaded.

When you say "keep your mind tidy" do you mean not having 'dirty' thoughts against individuals that just dump tools on the workshop bench??The trick will be keeping your mind tidy when tools don't get put back in the same places.
Or even worse, people who put tools back in the wrong place, you will never find them again except by accident.If they just get dumped on the bench then at least the tools are still in the workshop. Save those dirty thoughts for the people that can't even manage that.
